Backstory:

We were sitting around, playing with ideas, trying to find a lyric that would make us smile and cry, and we found it.  We wanted to write a song for all seasons - young people leaving home, friends and family being parted, older generations passing - something to touch many hearts.                                                             

Lyrics:

                                                  
MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU (IRISH BLESSING)

Chorus
May the road rise to meet you 
May the wind be at your back 
May the sunlight fall upon your face 
And the rain fall on your land 
And if ever we are parted, then until we meet again 
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand 
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand

V1
Fellow travelers, where will we go 
Seeds may scatter where ere the four winds blow 
Some will settle near, some will travel far 
Wherever life may take you, take these words to heart 

Chorus
May the road rise to meet you 
May the wind be at your back 
May the sunlight fall upon your face 
And the rain fall on your land 
And if ever we are parted, then until we meet again 
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand 
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand

V2
To health and happiness, to love that knows no end 
To warm nights by the fire with all your kith and kin 
Before this moment passes, let’s all of us draw close 
Raise our glasses high and share this simple toast 

Chorus
May the road rise to meet you 
May the wind be at your back 
May the sunlight fall upon your face 
And the rain fall on your land 
And if ever we are parted, then until we meet again 
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand 
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand

(repeat chorus)
