The chorus, as best I remember, is a series of lines in the form "X is Y because it's Z" where one of the Y/Z pairs is lost and found, though I don't remember in what order, with X being either I or this island or something similar.

When you hear a song you like save to your wishlist even if you don't want to buy it that way you can go back and read title/singer if you forget.

Mike F.May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

I am fairly certain that the artist is not Loreena McKennitt, Heather Dale, Altan, or Capercaillie. (Actually, I'm completely certain on the first two.)
I thought I had already mentioned what I remember of the lyrics, but the lines were generally of the form ____ was ____ because/for ____/it was ____. I know there was a line about the ocean, one about something broad, one about something (either island or "I", I think) being lost and found. The two second blanks in the pair of each line were generally either opposites or something that was most definitely not the same.
The main part of the song itself is a poem, Irish or Scottish or English, I can't remember which. There were a few stand-alone verses that were in, if I am remembering correctly, Irish or Gaelic that were added. (I remember having looked up the lyrics at some point and finding them, which is where I have this information from.)

You figured that out from her clue about the form of the lines, right? I think you may have it.
