How can the small flowers grow   If the wild winds blow   And the cold snow is all around      Where will the frail birds fly   If their homes on high   Have been torn down to the ground       Lift the Wings   That carry me away from here and   Fill the Sail   That breaks the time to home   But when I'm miles and miles apart from you   I'm beside you when I think of you - a Stóirín a Grá       How can a tree stand tall   If the rain won't fall   To wash its branches down       How can a heart survive   Can it stay alive   If its love's denied for long       Lift the Wings   That carry me away from here and   Fill the Sail   That breaks the line to home   But when I'm miles and miles apart from you   I'm beside you when I think of you - a Stóirín      And I'm with you when I think of you - a Stóirín    And a song will bring you near to me - a Stóirín a Grá
