lyrics

Soften the earth
So we can grow up here
Caught in the surf
Caught it in just the right way

And if you believe
They'll teach you to serve
Teach you the right way to pray
Teach you way the right way to pray

To soften
To soften

Face in the drink
And a face full of Ireland again
Caught in the sink
That you're keeping clean, clean, clean

And if you believe
They'll teach you to serve
Teach you the right way to pray
Teach you way the right way to pray

To soften it
To soften it
To soften it
To soften it

To soften
To soften
To soften
To soften
