Donegal man Cormac Friel has written a song to express the heartache and grief that surrounds the village of Creeslough.
Cormac, who is from Milford, wrote the acoustic song on Saturday as a way of coming to terms with the horrific news that emerged in the hours after the explosion.
Cormac’s lyrics send solidarity to Creeslough and prayers for the ‘fathers, daughters, sons and mums’ that will never be forgotten.
“My thoughts are with everyone affected at this heartbreaking time,” Cormac said.
Watch here:
Feeling numb, feeling sore
Tragedy’s come to the door
Of such a peaceful happy place
Devastation no-one should never have to face
How can we make sense of this
When our hearts are broke like this
How can we find words to say
When 10 angels have been taken away
We light our candles and pray for those who’ve gone
And think of the others who carry their memories on
There are things in this life that are to hard to understand
We gather together hand in hand
United with Creeslough we stand
I wish we could take your pain away
And replace it with a better day
We all just wish this wasn’t real
Its OK to feel whatever you feel
This tragic loss it leaves a scar
That stretches across all our hearts
Fathers, daughters, sons and mums
You’ll never be forgotten
We light our candles and pray for those who’ve gone
And think of the others who carry their memories on
There are things in this life that are to hard to understand
We gather together hand in hand
United with Creeslough we stand
