My dear sweet Ireland So long fighting How came this war to be Carson against Connelly But you stood through hard rain Till one day the word came: Peace has broken out No one knows why It's happened now We just give thanks That it's come around Peace has broken out Hearts broken out Still other fights rage on East, West, right and wrong Some in God's name begin Bloody lies breaking Him Still He'd let us lay down Our swords on this Holy ground Did you hear that peace... Did you know that we're all black and we're all white? We're all wrong and we're all right And them and we is you and me I live next door to you Hardly know you So I will surrender And I will surrender
