Tim O'Gara - Sacred Melody Lyrics

I dreamed I was in Lilly's Bar in Red Hook.
Michael Coleman's grave, I came to see.
To hear the songs of wisdom
And I longing, longing for that sacred melody

King James killed Irish men and sent the women
And children far away across the sea
Shakespeare wrote the bible
And the children sang that sacred melody.

And I hear it in the songs of Ras Tafari
The power of the holy trinity
Bridget and her sisters
I hear them singing the sacred melody.
