cathal francis - baby blanket lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
if the baby blanket you once clutched for comfort as a boy
is now a quilt of catholic guilt that shelters you from joy
the words you speak, they shouldn’t be of shame or to defend
why childhood sight of black and white is colourised again

[chorus]
us, ourselves and ours, look how we’ve grown
born then battered from what time has shown
a baby blanket’s torn and tattered, waiting to be sewn
but it won’t

[verse 2]
the fortress of the future and the prison of the past
they stand up strong to make you wrong, but they weren’t built to last
hollow frames that call your name to do what you are told
whosе shadows’ weight defends thе gate to freedom that they sold

[chorus]
us, ourselves and ours, look how we’ve grown
born then battered from what time has shown
a baby blanket’s torn and tattered, waiting to be sewn
but it won’t

[outro]
you’ve been running scared
happiness is best when shared
i’ll make you seen and heard
