"Book Of Days" as written by Nicky Ryan, Roma Ryan and Eithne Ni Bhraonain....
One day, one night, one moment
My dreams could be tomorrow
One step, one fall, one falter
East or west,
Over earth or by ocean
One way to be my journey
This way could be my
Book of days
No day, no night, no moment
Can hold me back from trying
I'll flag, I'll fall, I'll falter
I'll find my day maybe
Far and away
Far and away
One day, one night, one moment
With a dream to be living
One step, one fall, one falter
And a new world that cross a wide ocean
This sway became my journey
This day ends together
Far and away
This day ends together
Far and away
Far and away.
My dreams could be tomorrow
One step, one fall, one falter
East or west,
Over earth or by ocean
One way to be my journey
This way could be my
Book of days
No day, no night, no moment
Can hold me back from trying
I'll flag, I'll fall, I'll falter
I'll find my day maybe
Far and away
Far and away
One day, one night, one moment
With a dream to be living
One step, one fall, one falter
And a new world that cross a wide ocean
This sway became my journey
This day ends together
Far and away
This day ends together
Far and away
Far and away.

One day, one night, one moment
In some forms of meditation, the purpose is to attain Nirvana
If you go out on a limb this could be the lines
My dreams could be tomorrow
as well as
I'll find my day maybe
Far and Away
Other similarities to Buddhism:
Enya's music can be said to be overall very peaceful, her lyrics are removed from what is commonplace.
I saw a video in which Enya was playing on the piano for this song, and she was dressed in white and there were flowers scattered all around. Maybe a coincidence or maybe not, but some if not all buddhists have flowers present in the place where they meditate.
If I am wrong in my remarks, I would appreciate if someone corrected me, because I too would like to learn something new.
Ó lá go lá, mo thuras,
an bealach fada romham.
Ó oÃche go hoÃche, mo thuras,
na scéalta nach mbeidh a choÃch.
Translation (imtranslator.net):
Day by day, my journey,
The long pilgrimage before me.
From night to night, my journey,
The stories that will never be again.
