And through the eyes of her children
The story is told
Of another long winter
And fighting the cold
And as we harvest our land
And we hope and we pray
For another brave son
As he marches away

And I say
Ireland you are free
You'll always be
You'll always be

And as our spirit is strong
And we carry along
All our hopes and our dreams
One day will be real
And all those mothers that cried
Because their little boys died
And all their tears born of sorrow
Will turn for tomorrow

And I say
Ireland you are free
You'll always be
You'll always be

And through the eyes of her children
The story is told
Of another long winter
And fighting the cold
And as we harvest our land
And we hope and we pray
For another brave son
As he goes marching away

And I say
Ireland you are free
You'll always be
You'll always be

And through the eyes of her children
The story is told
All our hopes and our dreams
One day will be real
