Intro

 What makes me walk through Ireland's shrines

 And Ireland's holy shores

 To see a country crucified

 Your beauty crowned in thorns

 And as I watch that wondrous cross

 That's been hewn down and severed in two

 There's something here

 That draws me near

 To wear the green for you

 To see you there blood brother Gael

 The face, the tongue my own

 Many places in my own country

 Could not make me feel more at home

Laughter and music through the night

 Your freedom in the dark

 Tonight I swear I'd gladly wear

 The green next to my heart

E---irinn E----irinn

From the long and rolling Antrim hills

Through the wilds of Donegal

The songs of history are sung

Every stone on every wall

But here in our land how can we stand

And wash our hands of shame

When the sins of generations fall

Across the green like rain

Here one world window opens wide

And demons they show face

Some of your men have taken seeds of truth

And planted fields of hate

This way has never won a war

And I fear that when the harvest comes

You'll see your freedom fall on stoney ground

And the green overgrown

Chorus

Enjoy!
