[Chorus]
And the winds are singing freedom and they sing it everywhere,
They sing it on the mountainside and in the city square,
They sing of a new day dawning when our people will be free,
Come and join the song of freedom, let it ring from sea to sea.
[Verse]
In the battle streets of Belfast, can't you hear the people cry,
For justice long denied them and their cry will fill the sky,
But the winds of change are blowing, bringing hope from dark despair,
A new day is dawning, you can feel it in the air.
[Chorus]
And the winds are singing freedom and they sing it everywhere,
And they sing it on the mountainside and in the city square,
They sing of a new day dawning when our people will be free,
Come and join the song of freedom, let it ring from sea to sea.
[Verse]
Too long our people have suffered in misery and in tears,
And foreign rulers used our land for about eight hundred years,
It's a long road, has no turning, and I know some day will be,
A day of justice dawning when our people will be free.
[Chorus]
And the winds are singing freedom and they sing it everywhere,
And they sing it on the mountainside and in the city square,
They sing of a new day dawning when our people will be free,
Come and join the song of freedom, let it ring from sea to sea.
[Verse]
There's a time laid out for laughing, there's a time laid out to weep,
There's a time laid out for sowing and a time laid out to reap,
There's a time to love your brother, there's a time for hate to cease,
If you sow the seeds of justice then you'll reap the fruits of peace.
