People Of Ireland - Spirit Of Freedom

[Verse]
Ireland you suffered though famine and jeers,
Oppression and slavery for eight hundred years,
Brave Wolfe Tone was to answer the cry,
To call for a nation, to fight and to die.

[Chorus]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your voices be heard against this tyranny,
Till Ireland united, Gaelic and free.

[Verse]
They slaved and imprisoned our bold Fenian men,
O'Donovan Rossa, he fought till the end,
Brave Connolly and Pearse, at the GPO,
Against an empire, they stuck with a blow.

[Chorus]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your voices be heard against this tyranny,
Till Ireland united, Gaelic and free.

[Verse]
The struggle was fought by a fierce rebel band,
The Bold IRA, Cumann na mBan,
Our brave rebel soldiers were captured and killed,
For the cause they believed in and wished to fulfil.

[Chorus]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your voices be heard against this tyranny,
Till Ireland united, Gaelic and free.

[Chorus]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your voices be heard against this tyranny,
Till Ireland united, Gaelic and free.

[Verse]
Then traitors they sold out our patriot game,
The struggled continued for land to regain,
They hanged young Tom Williams, in a lonely prison cell,
Seán South and O'Hanlon, in a border raid they fell.

[Chorus]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your voices be heard against this tyranny,
Till Ireland united, Gaelic and free.

[Verse]
They jailed and they tortured, they tried to criminalize,
Our brave Bobby Sands, his comrades, he died,
They showed to the world that our struggle was right,
For a new generation to carry on the fight.

[Chorus]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your voices be heard against this tyranny,
Till Ireland united, Gaelic and free.

[Chorus]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your voices be heard against this tyranny,
Till Ireland united, Gaelic and free.

[Outro]
People of Ireland, wherever you may be,
This land belongs to you and to me,
Let your.
