Taken from 'Across the Bridge of Hope' , a compilation album created and recorded in support of victims of the Omagh bombings, by Tim Hegarty and Ross Graham.The album was released on July 13, 1999, by White Records. The album included various songs by Irish artists, as well as two poem recitations by actor Liam Neeson. The album draws its name from a line from the second of these two poems, written by twelve-year-old Sean McLaughlin, who wrote it shortly before he was killed in the bombing. The album also includes a song with the title "Across the Bridge of Hope", written and produced by B. A. Robertson, and sung by the Omagh Community Youth Choir.

The first track features a recitation of Seamus Heaney's poem "A Cure at Troy" by Liam Neeson.[4] The second track is a Sinéad O'Connor cover of "Chiquitita". Van Morrison recorded an acoustic version of "The Healing Game" for this album.[5][6] Also included were "Please" sung by the group U2, "The Island", by Paul Brady, and a version of "Silent Night", sung by Enya.

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
