I wrote this song after an in-depth conversation with my mother who spent years searching for her mother.  It's in 7/8; perhaps reflecting the irregularity of relationships.

(Because you asked Jeff.  When my Ma met her mother she commented on the colour of her eyes and said, "They're brilliant blue..." and it's the way she said it and looked that stuck in my mind)

Brilliant Blue
Her eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
I take after my father, they say he was a farmer
My mother's at the window as I say goodbye
I've only just met her, she is 84 0r 85

Refrain: Brilliant blue eyes, greet my brown
I've waited all my life, for this

2lb 4oz wrapped in cotton wool, placed in a cardboard shoebox
given to nuns in Bloom Street
Manchester in 1940, I was one of many a child and mother
sent from Catholic Ireland

Refrain      Lahlahlahs

Sixty-two years since we met, mother
I just wanted to see you one time, if you want me too
Your eyes are brilliant blue, mine are brown
as I leave the white-haired woman
It was dead of winter I was found

Lahlahlahs   Refrain

Brillinat Blue Master

WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT (Lyrics) – Beth Williams Music ©2021
If you don’t wanna live your life riddled with regrets
You got to do the right thing, you got to do your best
With so much confusion and trouble in the air
Sometimes it’s hard to keep going, sometimes it’s hard to care

You got to hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right

My momma always told me , daddy told me too
Be honest and good, remember how we raised you
I didn’t listen and there for a while
I was a crazy, out of control. Lost and running wild

but now I know
You got to hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right

Aint nothing to be gained by putting yourself first
In the end we all die and are put down in the dirt
Can’t take it with you. All that remains
is the love you leave here and the things that you change
Be the change C’mon and
hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right
Bridge
On the other side of forever there’s a river of life
We’ll all be…. free from sorrow and the dark of night
Won’t need a candle, a lamp or the sun
God’s light will be shining on us everyone.
God’s light will be shining on us, everyone.
God’s light will be shining on us, everyone

You got to hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right

Do what you know is right
Do what you know is right…
