about

“Brigid’s Land” is simply a song encouraging young people, who might lose their confidence in themselves at times, to keep going, to keep reaching for their life goals and dreams despite their environment."

The title “Brigid’s Land” is a reference to the land Saint Brigid of Kildare acquired from the King of Leinster in the 5th Century. She asked the King for as much land as her small cloak would cover. Her cloak magically spread in every direction over many acres of what is now known as the Curragh. Despite being born into slavery, Brigid overcame every hurdle to help the poor and spread her beliefs. She could also turn water into beer :)
An early superheroine.

lyrics

BRIGID’S LAND:

FILL YOUR BOOTS YOU’RE TAKING OVER THE WORLD
CLAIM YOUR PLACE AND WIN THIS RACE LITTLE GIRL
RAISE YOUR HEART-PLACE YOUR STARS ON THE TABLE.
TAKE MY HAND -ON BRIGID’S LAND WE WILL WANDER

QUEEN OF FIRES YOU’RE WAGING WARS EVERY DAY
FREEDOM SEEKS YOU BURN THOSE FREAKS IN THE BIBLE
PIERCE THEIR SIDES
A FLINTSTONE CRIES IN THE JUNGLE
IN THIS LIFE WE GET ONE CHANCE DON’T BE HUMBLE

TAKE YOUR BRIGHT GUITARS
AS YOU BLAZE A TRAIL OF STARS EVERYDAY
HEAL THOSE BROKEN SONGS
YOU’VE BEEN SINGING FAR TOO LONG ANYWAY
FREE YOUR MIND
AND SHOW MANKIND YOU BELONG HERE
IT’S YOUR TIME
TO LEAD THE BLIND INTO WONDER.

IT’S YOUR TIME ANGEL.
IT’S YOUR TIME
IT’S YOUR TIME DAUGHTER.
IT’S YOUR TIME

INTO WONDER. INTO WONDER. INTO WONDER. INTO WONDER.
