Alison - In aid of The Capuchin Day Centre For Homeless People -Dublin, Ireland

‘Alison – Daughter of our Nation’ is a new song in aid of The Capuchin Day Centre For Homeless People-Dublin. It is performed by Maggies Farm featuring Heather MacLeod and The Sisters Of Fate.

The Capuchin Day Centre provides meals and day care facilities for people who are homeless or in need and food parcels for those on the poverty threshold. Alison is the story of a homeless girl living on the streets of the city. Cold, hungry and unwanted Alison is brushed aside like dust and in time will disappear, just another statistic. Maggies Farm, featuring Heather MacLeod and The Sisters Of Fate were honoured to be able to perform this song on behalf of The Capuchin Day Centre. It is hoped to raise both awareness and badly needed funds, to help the centre continue it’s outstanding work, not just feeding people but also giving them a chance to regain their dignity and feel a little love. All profits raised from this release will go directly to The Day Centre .

The song is available on itunes and other digital sites. Remember, all profits go to The Day Centre . All press/media and broadcast coverage will greatly help The Day Centre raise much needed funds and continue it’s amazing good work. Contact Tony at 087-6527284 or email tonyfloydkenna@diginet.ie.

Alison, Daughter of our Nation
Alison, Sister to us all
Alison, Why does nobody want you?
Alison, Alison, Don’t cry.
Alison sits on the bridge
Her hair un brushed, Her clothes unwashed
Feeling tired and feeling hungry
Her eyes show little hope
‘You have to move along now’
Says the man from the city
‘You can’t be in public view
Or the newspapers will see you’
So, She shuffles down the street
Cold, beyond unwanted
Looking for a corner
Where the World, won’t find her
Alison, Daughter of our Nation
Alison, Sister to us all
Alison, Why does nobody want you?
Alison, Alison, Don’t cry.
Alison tries to get some sleep
Wrapped in cardboard boxes
Her boots have holes, you can see her feet
I wonder, will she make it?
Alison, Daughter of our Nation
Alison, Sister to us all
Alison, Why does nobody want you?
Alison, Alison, Don’t cry.
