One day nearer.

 One day nearer

One day nearer, one less fever 

In a world worn down with dread

Each passing day brings survival 

Closer to each family. 

Look not down, look straight up

As the goal comes daily nearer

Let not terror trap our footsteps 

Let our courage overcome. 

Let’s pray for doctors and for nurses

And the heroes in our shops

We’ll pray for soldiers and the Garda

For those in power and all who lead us. 

Thus too will pass, of this I’m certain

My eyes look forward to the feast

When we toast all those who helped us

And those we lost along the way.
