The+family+of+funny+names

I can tell by your eyes that it's hard to believe But this place is called Earth and these sounds are called speech You've got plenty of time to find out what they mean Welcome times two to Aoife and Niamh

Two more small voices to add to this song There's two voices you'll hear that will help you along But for now just sleep soundly breathe deep where you lay And welcome to the family, of funny names

Now most of your lives will not go as you plan So much of your story will be written by chance In Russia and in Mayo there were two born like you What chance was it brought them here so you could be here with us too

Two more small voices ...

The four pointed cross and the six pointed star The bagels and the spuds and the songs and the art There's this history to hold you and the there's the history you'll start There's the language you'll learn of the mind and the language of the heart

Two more small voices ...
