Lyrics

I’ve never walked upon your streets
Nor leaned upon your walls
I’ve never seen your countryside
But I’ve heard your angry calls
You shed your blood upon the land
You gave your lives unto a man
But Ireland is wounded and
She’s bleeding once again

O Ireland, I’ve never seen
Your cities or your towns
But human nature is the same
Wherever man is found

I know of all the troubles
You’ve had so many years
The fire, the flame, the burning shame
That’s bringing you to tears
From the Bogside to the Shankill
Whether wearing orange or green
Dying is reality
When fighting for a dream

To bring all men together
‘Twas the reason that He died
For there is no room for rifles
When you’re standing side by side
There is no easy answer
When everything is gray
And the land of saints and scholars
Is fading fast away

O Ireland, the war within
Is where the battle starts
His peace will come to nations
When He changes human hears
