A Child’s Thankyou |

This song was written by Liam‘s Daughter-in-law, Louise McClosky, as a thank you from his grandchildren.

Vs 1

I’d like to thank you Grand Da

For the life you’ve given me

You left your troubled home land

So my spirit could fly free

Vs 2

Your family’s hearts are calling

Heard the voices left behind

But I’m glad you went the distance

Found a home of a different kind.

Instrumental – “Grand Da’s tune”

Vs 3

Now the songs have eased your mourning

And as each new babe is born

The ties from home are breaking

Less and less your heart is torn

Vs 4

I’ll never take it for granted

The sacrifice you made that day

I hope the war inside is o’er

When you sing to me ‘Sweet Mingulay’

Instrumental – “Grand Da’s tune”

Vs 5

I will always have your memories

And I wish someday I’ll see

Take me back to your green Ireland

Walk it hand in hand with me

(** Repeat verse 1 and then finish with Shamrock shores and fade)
