Helena's Journey: Unveiling Life's Crossroads Through Maria Doyle Kennedy's Melody
Lyrics
Helena where are you going
Helena, where are you going?
Your father's eyes are bleeding
Your father's eyes are bleeding.
Your mothers cross is hard to bear
Your mother's cross is hard to bear.
Helena look your lovely hair
Helena, look, your lovely hair.
Is fallen to your knees, Fallen to your knees in prayer
It has fallen to your knees, fallen to your knees in prayer.
Helena can you trust him
Helena, can you trust him?
Your baby's feet are growing
Your baby's feet are growing.
You feel him scratching killing time
You feel him scratching, killing time.
Your mother's eyes look on and cry
Your mother's eyes look on and cry.
Helena look your hair, Helena look your lovely hair
Helena, look at your hair. Helena, look at your lovely hair.
Daughters do what mothers would warn them from
Daughters do what mothers would warn them from.
And fathers see that young men are how they used to be
And fathers see that young men are how they used to be.
Helena can you feed him, he suckles on your freedom
Helena, can you feed him? He suckles on your freedom.
Your mother's wisdom earned in vain
Your mother's wisdom earned in vain.
For now your life is just the same
For now, your life is just the same.
Helena look your hair, Helena look your lovely hair
Helena, look at your hair. Helena, look at your lovely hair.
Helena where are you going
Helena, where are you going?
You hear the river flowing
You hear the river flowing.
It calls you down it begs you in
It calls you down, it begs you in.
Your baby cries out from within
Your baby cries out from within.
Helena look your hair, Helena look your lovely hair
Helena, look at your hair. Helena, look at your lovely hair.
Helena beware
Helena, beware.
Helena take care
Helena, take care.
