[,] [,]

O'er the green mountains and

O'er the green valleys

 I've walked through the country

 And felt me an age

people so strong

 They resist for so long

 The boundaries that hold them

Children can sing of

 the coming of Spring

 A young man can't defend

 What he knows to be wrong

Women so strong

 Needing peace for so long

 The homelands lay broken

 So the refugee walks such

long lonely road

 As the weak will die off

 Make the young people old

 To redeem a whole country

 For selling its soul

 To the bastions of war

 So the refugee walks such

long lonely road

 As the weak will die off

 Make the young people old

 To redeem a whole country

 For selling its soul

 To the bastions of war

Weep a fresh tear for the mass graves

 I fear won't be long

 As the young perish fast to the land

Wiping the tears from the young

 Gifted years, the millions lay down

O'er the green mountains and

O'er the green valleys

 I've walked through the country

 And felt me an age

people so strong

 They resist for so long

 The boundaries that hold them
