An ocean roaring round her shores
A million shades of nature’s green
A magic that invites, implores
That, Alas, I’ve never seen
But there’s a spirit set in me
That spans beyond the drink and spud
A strength to face catastrophe
A joy that lives within my blood
The tales told well by my relations
Of a never ending pride
Of over coming tribulations
With hearts and smiles that both grew wide
You can hear it in the music
And see it in their sparkling eyes
When hardship comes we will live through it
For a fighting spirit never dies
So laugh plainly and loudly so
And gather friends as oft you can
Set music to your deepest woe
Like the children of fair Ireland
