Solas may refer to:
Solas /ˈsɒləs/ is an Irish liturgical music group and resource entity formed in 1991, performing, recording and distributing original church music by local, and mostly Catholic, composers. The group is based in Belfast but has attracted musicians and writers from across the island of Ireland, and as of 2003, has been largely in hiatus.
Solas was founded by Brian Foley, who coined the name, which comes from an Irish word meaning "light".

Oh the ship I'm on
Time is what I ride
Forty winds
The captain and the tide
Well a sailor boy
Stole me from my home
And this sea of joy
Is the only life I've known
I would fly away
I would fly away
But I take the sea
For stranger days than these
Now a salty dog
Is caught up on the reef
And the bottom of the sea
She kisses in relief
She could fly away
She could fly away
But she takes the sea
For stranger days than these
So you trade your life
When something comes for you
And you bury the knife
Between the lies and truth
You could fly away
You could fly away
But you take the sea
For stranger days than these
And I take the sea
For stranger days than these
