Let the People Sing |
For those who are in love |
There’s a song that’s warm and tender |
For those who are oppressed |
In song you can protest |
So liberate your minds |
And give your soul expression |
Open up your hearts |
I’ll sing for you this song |
Let the people sing their stories and their songs |
And the music of their native land |
Their lullabies and battlecries and songs of hope and joy |
So join us hand in hand |
All across this ancient land |
Throughout the test of time |
It was music that kept their spirits free |
Those songs of yours and of mine |
It was back in ancient times |
The bard would tell his stories |
Of the heroes, of the villain |
Of the chieftains in the glen |
Through Elizabethian time |
And Cromwellian war and fury |
Put our pipers to the sword |
Killed our harpers and our bards |
Let the people sing their stories and their songs |
And the music of their native land |
Their lullabies and battlecries and songs of hope and joy |
So join us hand in hand |
All across this ancient land |
Throughout the test of time |
It was music that kept their spirits free |
Those songs of yours and of mine |
Ireland, land of song |
Your music lives forever |
In its valleys, in its mountains |
In its hills and in its glens |
Our music did survive |
Through famine and oppression |
To the generations gone |
I’ll sing for you this song |
Let the people sing their stories and their songs |
And the music of their native land |
Their lullabies and battlecries and songs of hope and joy |
So join us hand in hand |
All across this ancient land |
Throughout the test of time |
It was music that kept their spirits free |
Those songs of yours and of mine |
