The Isle of Saints and Scholars
by Bob Eschenbrenner welcome to the isle of saints and scholars for the seekers of wisdom faith and knowledge listen and you will hear the song of the Irish Sea while the rain falls hard on the green fields of Kerry and I arise today to write this confession I'm at peace with my God his grace and redemption I arise today to share what I have learned of the wisdom of the word and the lessons I've discerned I'll tell you what was lost when they burned the library down wisdom was reduced to ashes on the ground and the books went up in flames well it's always been that way when anger vents its rage and fear rules the day but on the cliffs of Mohrer far from the fall of Rome the March winds rise and fall while Patrick writes a poem and he read the words across the sea of time carrying the message of the soul divine a sculptor carves a Celtic cross high above the sea and in a Dublin tavern they debate ancient philosophy of poets and prophets and mystics gone by while the sunrise greets the emerald isle listen and you will hear the song of the Irish Sea while the rain falls hard on the green fields of Kerry |
