lyrics

My life, in part, is branded
by harp & cross & ring
by the darkness of the Troubles
& the calling of the sea

Though the marshes of my homeland
are not her moors of green
I belong, in part, to Erin
& she belongs to me

Ireland the world adores you
there's a magic in your roots
in your luck & dance & fightin'
in your mysteries & truth

So let's raise a glass to Patrick
Brigid & Brendan too
to the saints who shaped a nation
& to Christ who saw them through

Here's to Swift & Yeats & Lewis
the wordsmiths of the isle
seeking justice, beauty, wisdom
with an ancient Irish guile

But as pretty as I imagine
the Emerald Isle to be
as beautiful the country
I someday hope to see

She's a shadow of my true home
where the final doorway leads
where I'll sing an ageless chorus
to the one & only King
