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
