My Irish Heart

For the love of the rain upon our green land

For wars that we fought and the loves that we’ve had

For the smiles that we give and our love of the sea

How we fight for another just let us be

Proudly we stand

with a pint give a cheer

Brothers and sisters of Eire to be clear

And a wish that we give ya

unto all your hearts

May the wind be behind ya

May you never depart

With tea right beside ya

A hearth there to warm

With love there to hold ya

Throughout all your storms

May wee ones surround ya

A gift that they be

Smiles that they give ya

For children they be

And a roof overhead

With soft blankets to warm

On a cold winters night

That wrap ya like arms
