My Ireland

My Ireland is not your’s

It is not their’s
It is my own


Two decades have passed

They hae come and gone
They are the fruit of time

I long once more for your gentle grace

For your simple beauty
For my Ireland


The ocean is miles from here

Miles from the plains
Miles from my field of view

Tomorrow is forever just a day away

Just out of grasp
Just like my Ireland


Now a child of change and of peace

Change the world
Change my heart


Never to step out onto the cliffs again

Onto the fields of green
Onto the soil of my Ireland
