Lyrics -

It's the Little Things
(G. Gothard)

CHORUS
It's the little things that make a difference
Little things
It's the little things that make a difference,
Be the change you wish to see in the world

Fields of Athenry
(Pete St. John)

By a lonely prison wall / I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn / so the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

CHORUS
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall / I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown / I rebelled, they struck me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity

CHORUS

By a lonely harbor wall / she watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she'll live to hope and pray / for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

CHORUS
