This song was written by Kevin McCourt who was a modest musician, well-known around Leicester with his numerous instruments.
Kevin was keen to get me singing in Gaelic which I am still planning, however in the meantime this is a lovely song that he wrote and asked me to sing.
What is this Peace
What is this peace you bring?
Is it carried by bird on the wing?
Is it just for this year,
Will it then disappear?
Oh, please, what is this peace you bring?
Is peace now lost and gone?
Is there darkness where once the sun shone?
Has it flown far away;
And here no more will stay?
Oh, is peace now lost and gone?
Can we now save this dove?
Can the Earth be redeemed through love
Oh yes, surely we see
This dove floating free
Will she bring peace through love?
What is this peace you bring?
Is it carried by bird on the wing?
Is it just for this year;
Does it then disappear?
Oh, please, what is this peace you bring?
