The Wolfe Tones - The Grand Father
текст песни

We can be as free as the
Wild flowers on the mountain
As the birds upon the ocean
As the waves upon the sand
Calm the winter gale and let's
Set the wheels in motion rise up
Friends and comrades come join along with me

Build a mountain high
Blossomed with integrity
Problems never die without
Answering the cause
Set the hills ablaze with
The words of revolution
The bureaucrats amaze
The birds have flown their cage

We can be as free as the
Wild flowers on the mountain
As the birds upon the ocean
As the waves upon the sand
Calm the winter gale and let's
Set the wheels in motion rise up
Friends and comrades come join along with me

But friends have acted strange my
Mother has forsaken me
The man in black has spoken with
A forked and evil tongue
This man who preached the words
Of love and understanding
Has turned his humble flame to
The target of his ire

But will you come with me
To the buttercups and daisies?
Over hills and mountains beneath
The sky above the Earth will be our truth if
The truth has been our sorrow rise up
Friends and comrades come join along with me

In union there is strength
We'll find our strength in numbers
Let's organise ourselves into
A powerful band it is difficult to see this
World so ill divided
It's hard for you and me but
Our problems can be solved

We can be as free as the
Wild flowers on the mountain
As the birds upon the ocean
As the waves upon the sand
Calm the winter gale and let's
Set the wheels in motion rise up
Friends and comrades come join along with me
