Lyrics:
- 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 to you this song
๐ต
[Chorus]
- Oh, let the people sing their stories and their songs
- The music of their native land
- Their lullabies and battle cries 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
๐ต
- It was back in ancient times
- When the bard would tell his stories
- Of the heroes, of the villains
- Of the chieftains in the glen
- Through Elizabethian times
- And Cromwellian war and fury
- Put our pipers to the sword
- Killed our harpers and our bards
๐ต
[Chorus]
- Let the people sing their stories and their songs
- The music of their native land
- Their lullabies and battle cries 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
๐ต
- Oh, Ireland, land of song
- Your music lives forever
- In its valleys, in its mountains
- In its hills and in its glen
- Our music did survive
- Through famine and depression
- To the generations gone
- I'll sing to you this song
๐ต
[Chorus]
- Oh, let the people sing their stories and their songs
- The music of their native land
- Their lullabies and battle cries 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 our spirits free
- Those songs of yours and of mine
๐ต
[Chorus]
- This land is your land, this land is my land
- From the northern highlands to the western islands
- From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
- This land was made for you and me
๐ต
- As I was walking by the Shannon water
- Hand in hand with my little daughter
- And the church bell ringin', and the children singin'
- This land was made for you and me
๐ต
[Chorus]
- This land is your land, this land is my land
- From the northern highlands to the western islands
- From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
- This land was made for you and me
๐ต
- So I walked her home by the old church steeple
- Proud of my country, proud of my people
- Of the men who tried there, and of the men who died there singin'
- This land was made for you and me
๐ต
[Chorus]
- This land is your land, this land is my land
- From the northern highlands to the western islands
- From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
- This land was made for you and me
๐ต
- Then I climbed a mountain, saw the crystal fountain
- And heard a great roar from the rocky sea shore
- Her eyes were gleamin', she said oho Daddy
- This land was made for you and me
๐ต
[Chorus]
- This land is your land, this land is my land
- From the northern highlands to the western islands
- From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
- This land was made for you and me
