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
