The Irish
Embracing Life's Unpredictable Journey: A Tribute to Resilience
Lyrics
It’s hard to understand everything that happened this year
Expressing difficulty in comprehending the events of the year.
Losing you, tell me now, how’s that fair
Questioning the fairness of losing someone and seeking an explanation.
Well that’s life, that’s what the Irish say
Referring to the resilience of the Irish people in facing life's challenges.
Hope you’re at peace, hope the wind’s at your back and you’re standing on your two feet
Wishing for peace for the departed, hoping they face life's challenges successfully.
Hard to talk about the brutal fact that you’re gone
Expressing the difficulty of discussing the painful reality of the person's absence.
I got my day to day business like my heart has moved on
Describing a sense of moving forward with daily life, despite emotional pain.
Well that’s the road or so the Irish say
Attributing the challenges to life's journey, echoing Irish perspectives.
Grab yourself a whiskey, raise it in the air, and don’t forget one for me
Suggesting a traditional Irish gesture of raising a whiskey glass in remembrance.
It’s time to carry on
Emphasizing the need to continue with life despite the hardships.
It’s time to carry on
-Go to bed, hold close
Encouraging finding solace in bedtime and holding on to cherished memories.
All the things that you said
Reflecting on treasured words spoken by the departed.
It’s time to carry on
Reiterating the importance of moving forward in life.
Hard to understand why the good ones die young
Expressing the challenge of understanding why good people die young.
Why am I here, no, don’t make any sense
Expressing existential confusion and questioning the purpose of one's existence.
Well that’s life, that’s what the Irish say
Reiterating the theme of facing life's challenges with an Irish perspective.
The sun is going to rise, the sun going to set and you’ll always be there for me
Believing in the enduring presence and support of the departed.
It’s time to carry on
Repeating the call to continue with life despite the pain of loss.
It’s time to carry on
-It’s time to close my eyes
Indicating the need to rest and close one's eyes to the difficulties.
Go to bed, hold close
Encouraging holding on to memories and finding comfort in bedtime.
All the things that you said
-It’s time to carry on
Reiterating the importance of moving forward despite challenges.
It’s hard to understand everything that happened this year
Returning to the theme of struggling to understand the events of the year.
Losing you, tell me now, how’s that fair
Expressing continued grief and questioning the fairness of losing the person.
