The Long Road Home
The Long Road Home April 3, 2016
It's been a struggle on our long road home
Troubled times for our people, ourselves alone
We've lost our friends and our family on the way
We stand united together on our streets everyday
Growing up in our country with the others that came
Soon made our children play the patriots game
Loosing a friend of your childhood days
Thoughts in your heart, the memory stays
walking through fields, thinking of four
This lovely land a nation once more
From every street we lost one of us
Lead don't discriminate, we know what it does
The children of today with Irelands cause
We're never going back, it's forward and more
Free people in our new land, Irish for sure
No hate in our land only justice and peace
Our struggle is over, the drums must cease
We'll live together the way it should be
When that day comes we will be free
It's been a struggle on our long road home
Troubled times for our people, ourselves alone
