His idea to go to The Navan Centre and Fort
An archeological site where ancient heroes and their consorts
The Celts of old Ireland reigned
Red Branch Knights, Emain Macha and Cu Chulainn's tales
Battles, warriors, lovers, stuff of Irish women and men
And we'd take their lead for love and war and fighting from way back then
I've a story for you, he says
If I can get a word in edgeways
In that wood over there, that glade, that clearing
A man fell in love and this is his story that needs hearing

An old man he left the town and one day he went walking
In a clearing in the woods he sat and he hatched his plan
And he thumbed through his book of stories and truths he'd heard people talking
And he drew out a map of how to make the perfect man

He pulled stars from the sky to your eyes and for hair he twined some heather at length
And he reached in the shadows and fashioned you a handsome dark brow
And he sift gold from the brook for your smile and bags of sand for your strength
And he sat you up, facing westward and said you're ready now

You're what someone's been waiting for this time all along
And you'll know when you know for only you'll hear the song
So don't wait for the world is yours and the world is wide
Go build a house that's too small to hold it all in
Learn from people you love and the places you'll have been
You're what someone's been waiting for all this time
Now go find a love like mine

In a clearing in a glade the old mans picture took shape
And a handful of earth he grasped and he rubbed on your face
Said, Now you're not afraid lad to get dirty on this road to love
Said, I wish you could see him girl, I've nearly finished my work, are you there above?

And for your thoughts he plucked a vast piece of sky that stretched out and had no end
For your mind he found an old bit of steel that was hard willed to bend
And for your voice, he pulled scraps of velvet from his satch and made them tone
And lastly for your heart, he reached in and took a piece of his own

You're what someone's been waiting for this time all along
And you'll know when you know for only you'll hear the song
So don't wait for the world is yours and the world is wide
Go build a house that's too small to hold it all in
Learn from people you love and the places you'll have been
You're what someone's been waiting for all this time
Now go find a love like mine

And there's just something about him that's deep rooted in the land
He's of tricks, stories and fables that were passed from man-to-man
That were passed from ear to ear then sparked and passed from tongue to tongue
He's of mythical Ancient Ireland, something about him's forever young
He was made for me, I tell you, I know I'm not wrong
And I can't help but thinking surely
Where in the name of God did he come from?

In a clearing in a glade the old man he breathed his last
He said, Son, I've something to say before I pass
And a handful of rocks he threw from the path to the shore
He said, These are the people you'll meet on your way
Use your head and my heart so you know who's worth fighting for

You're what someone's been waiting for this time all along
And you'll know when you know for only you'll hear the song
So don't wait for the world is yours and the world is wide
Go build a house that's too small to hold it all in
Learn from people you love and the places you'll have been
You're what someone's been waiting for all this time
Now go find a love like mine
