Lyrics:
There’s a low rock wall By the cliffs of Mohàr Runs from down on the ground Right up through the sea air As a child I would climb To the top of those stairs And wish on the fog I was anywhere else
The farms and the valleys Are ringed with the stones Of the men who built walls So’s to be more alone All that’s left of them now Are their fears and their bones But the rocks they pulled up Were all I’ve ever known
The Rock fought my spirit The Rock fed my anger The Rock broke my heart Like the waves of the sea I tried hard to fight But it still grew inside me This island My Ireland The Rock is in me
Hard was the ground In which this child grew Unforgiving and cold Was the home that I knew But knowing the soil Holds no harbor for you Makes pulling up roots That much easier to do
Set sail! Young pilgrims Set sail to a new land Set sail! Our future Is out there to find
The Rock fought my spirit The Rock fed my anger The Rock broke my heart Like the waves of the sea I tried hard to fight But it still grew inside me This island My Ireland The Rock is in me (2x)
Now it’s been years Since I’ve been in that place And the winds of my life Have all weathered my face But it’s only with distance And the coming of grace That I see in you beauty I could never replace
The Rock forged my spirit The Rock was my anchor The Rock held me fast Through the storms of my youth Now you’ll never die ‘Cause you live on inside me An oileán seo (This island) Mo h-Éireann féin (My Ireland) Li-li-li...

This is my favorite song of the whole show. It's always meant a lot to me. "Hard was the ground in which this child grew. Unforgiving and cold was the home that I knew."
I thought it was amazing when they referenced that Jack was a knight in a past life. I wish I could have seen that play out.

I´m living in England at the moment. And I will plan for next year to go to the rocks and cliffs of Mohàr. I will travel with this music at night, and I WILL FIND THE ROCK!

I have plans to see the cliffs, too, and it is because I am inspired by this song! My brother plays guitar, and I want to take him with me to the cliffs someday, where we can stop for a while, and he can play the guitar notes for this song!

My best friend and I made plans to go to Ireland before we turn thirty. We got six years to save up! I've always wanted to see the cliffs since I was a child. This show meant the world to me. It's my life's goal to sing The Rock on the cliffs!

Well guys: I DID IT!!! IT WAS AMAZING! Went to the Cliffs and walked around there completely alone and with THE ROCK sounding in my headphones!! AWESOME PLACE, AWESOME FEELING I have something to say: Always follow what your inner child wants to do. I had my doubts about going to Moher (financial situation), mostly because it was "just" a childhood curiosity. Well, I could´t been more wrong. Thanks god I asked myself "If I don´t go for my own dreams, past, present and future, who the hell is gonna do it for me?" So freaking do it. Happiness isn't an end, a place or a moment, it's the way you take while you're following a dream.
