Eirann Child
Our wild heart we shall not tame
Or shall we be anyone slave
Nor shall we hang our head in shame
Freedom is what we truly crave
We realised in that very instance
Being Eirann's child is our inheritance
It was in that ancient storm
Did this land take it form?
There is always magic in the air
And my heart is forever wild
Must be why I come back to Eire
Because I know that I am Eirann's child
Though her people are brave
No matter how far is the shore
A united land is what we believe
We shall return like we did before
Like the emerald green pasture
Eire is our home we can always be sure
As we walk on the emerald hill
And join the growing throng
Even in the bitter winter chill
Our heart shall sing our nation song
Even in our eternal sleep
For her lost we hear Eirann weep
Listen to your inner voice
We are not here just for the ride
Being Eirann child is not our choice
Always wear her name with pride
Forever your heart remains wild
You’ll always be Eirann’s child
