[Verse 1]
From green hills I came to sing
By the sea and stone and rain
Son of my father and your old lane
We carry home inside our name
Fields are small, but hearts run deep
Old roads keep what time can't keep
When the wind cuts through the trees
We still stand on borrowed knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it high, let it ring
Three proud lands in one small song
Say it clear, don't let it fade
We belong where we came from
[Chorus]
Land of my fathers
Ireland, hold me close
Flowers of Scotland
Bloom in the cold
Land of my fathers
Ireland, hold me close
Flowers of Scotland
We sing what we know
[Verse 2]
On the island, in the glen
Every name comes back again
From the pub and chapel door
To the rain that knows the shore
Lá na gaoithe, we still talk
Through the town and up the dock
And when the bagpipes start to cry
Even hard men lift their eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it high, let it ring
Three proud lands in one small song
Say it clear, don't let it fade
We belong where we came from
[Chorus]
Land of my fathers
Ireland, hold me close
Flowers of Scotland
Bloom in the cold
Land of my fathers
Ireland, hold me close
Flowers of Scotland
We sing what we know
[Bridge]
No border can break
What the heart keeps true
One road, three fires
And the sky still blue
From valley to island
From moor to coast
The names we were given
We carry most
[Final Chorus]
Land of my fathers
Ireland, hold me close
Flowers of Scotland
Bloom in the cold
Land of my fathers
Ireland, hold me close
Flowers of Scotland
We sing what we know
Land of my fathers
Ireland, hold me close
Flowers of Scotland
We sing what we know
