Tis the Irish Sealed In Me

...the distant flute
...the happy fiddle
...the hearty drum...

...my stomach in knots...

...the Irish jig...Ireland
here I come...back to my roots

...where these blood ties all begun...

...the shores of Ireland...

...I crave...Ireland the brave...

...this undying guts...this deep
passion revealed...

not a pot of gold at the end of a 
rainbow...can just anyone steal...

...the pride...this Irish bloodline
sealed inside...

...this might with fight...

...this spirit of great courage...
...in Ireland I believe...

it all began...the essence of 
Ireland in me...
