[Verse]
In this world of troubles and sorrows,
With its wars in far foreign lands,
Ireland has made its contribution to peace,
And forgot its own troubles at hand.

[Chorus]
While we live in democracy,
They say we're the land of the free,
For saints and scholars, we've got them to spare,
Must Ireland divided be?

[Verse]
While our North and South are divided,
By religious bigotry,
Our people have never decided to live,
As one community.

[Chorus]
While we live in democracy,
They say we'rе the land of the free,
For saints and scholars, we'vе got them to spare,
Must Ireland divided be?

[Verse]
There are countries with problems of colour,
And we have a problem of same,
It's not black and white, this remains to be seen,
It's the hate between orange and green.

[Chorus]
While we live in democracy,
They say we're the land of the free,
For saints and scholars, we've got them to spare,
Must Ireland divided be?

[Verse]
We've honoured our past generations,
Men who fought for orange and green,
But yet, today, we have not fulfilled,
The ideals of their dreams.

[Chorus]
While we live in democracy,
They say we're the land of the free,
For saints and scholars, we've got them to spare,
Must Ireland divided be?

[Verse]
Come gather round, people of Ireland,
And listen to my plea,
Don't listen to bigots, let's love and not hate,
And strive towards unity.

[Chorus]
And we'll live in democracy,
And we'll be the land of the free,
And saints and scholars, we'll have them to spare,
And united we will be.

[Chorus]
And we'll live in democracy,
And we'll be the land of the free,
And saints and scholars, we'll have them to spare,
And united we will be.
