Story behind the song
A tribute in song to all those who helped begin to win Ireland's freedom by participating in Ireland's Easter Rising in 1916.
Lyrics
As I walk the Dublin streets, Memories are what I see, Of the ones who chose, To help make Ireland free. Back in nineteen and sixteen, In this place just by the see, Many took the pledge, To help make Ireland free. So we need to let them know, Let’s find a way to show, We’re glad they chose, To help make Ireland free. Every woman and each man, Who fought for this precious land, Should be proud they chose, To help make Ireland free. How I wish that I could be, Standing there with them to see, How it felt to choose, To help make Ireland free. Some felt it should never be, But the rebels disagreed, Let’s thank God they chose, To help make Ireland free. So we need to let them know, Let’s find a way to show, We’re glad they chose, To help make Ireland free. Every woman and each man, Who fought for this precious land, Should be proud they chose, To help make Ireland free. Every woman and each man, Who fought for this precious land, Should be proud they chose, To help make Ireland free. Copyright © 2010 Rising16 Music All rights reserved.
