That Long, Long Rocky Roadby Tom Parker |
|
The winds came up slowly In the spring of '45 A year that the famine swept the land The summer was brutal And the winter so unkind A test for the people to withstand And how they did travelSo let us remember How they lived and how they died The proud and the brave of Ireland Hoping one day All men will be Brothers under the sun All good people Sharing the Earth Living peaceful as one So let us speak trulyTo bring understanding To a place few understand The South and the North of Ireland And how they did travelWith strength of an eagle And the heart of a dove Resolve that the war's forever banned True peace in all of Ireland |
