Look Around Ireland
Think back to the time when the Vikings invaded
They pillaged and raped and our country they raided
For the crosses our forefathers they had to bear
Stand mute on the ground from their Pagan warfare
Chorus
Look Around, tell me what it is you see,
Do you see things how they used to be?
Is it ivy clad towers and castles that stand?
Is it ghosts from the past and wars on our land?
Look Around, tell me what it is you see,
Many years passed and then Cromwell arrived
To hell or to Connacht ,our people deprived
Louth was the first to its knees it did fall
Swept south for Wexford the next to befall
Chorus
Think back to the time when the famine it struck
With no-one to save them and down on their luck
Millions of Irish were peacefully slain
Now looking back really who was to blame?
Chorus
When you come to Eire the land you will see
It's a place stepped in beauty, and great history
And yet through it all Irish eyes they will smile
The shamrock still blooms on our fair Emerald Isle.
Look Around, and tell me what it is you see,
Do you see things how they used to be?
Is it ivy glad towers and castles that stand?
Is it ghosts from the past and wars on our land?
