Ourselves Alone

By Paul McCann

 

 

 

We call ourselves Irish , we stand out in the crowd.

Yes ourselves alone, and that’s why we are so proud  .

We must keep to ourselves for its alone we are .

We must keep on reminding ourselves that thus far,

We’re Irish and we’re proud of the games that we play,

We’ll continue to do so til our dying day.

We’ve got to keep trusting when there’s no hope at all.

We’ve got to be strong because its the weak who fall .

We’ve got to believe in everything that we do .

We’ve got to find a new way when there’s no way through.

We’ve got to keep on smiling ,it’s no good to moan  .

For when it all comes down we’ve got ourselves alone
