Croagh Patrick
I am over here in Ireland, on the west coast of Mayo
The beauty is breath-taking, everywhere I go
With lovely hills and valleys, throughout this emerald land
The beaches are spectacular, with miles of golden sand
But the high point of my journey, if you’ll pardon the pun
Is climbing up Croagh Patrick, something that I have just done
It is a masterpiece of nature, with a church built at its peak
You haven’t experienced Ireland, until you have climbed the reek
The long trip up the mountain, it takes about two hours
The path is edged with rocks and stones, some heather and wild flowers
The view it just gets better, each step along the way
As you gaze out on the islands, that are dotted around Clew Bay
And when you reach the summit, all troubles seem to cease
You are filled with a warm feeling, of tranquillity and peace
It is all that you could wish for, with the most amazing view
Make sure you put it on your list, of things that you must do
