lyrics

Our faces
Look over the water
Our backs are to England
Our eyes to the sea

And we stand proud
As Ireland's daughter
America's cousin
Rebellious and free

Through the ages long and short
The world and its people
Have flocked to this port
Fortunes for to seek and find
Leaving the old ways behind

Our faces
Look over the water
Our backs are to England
Our eyes to the sea

We stand proud
As Ireland's daughter
America's cousin
Rebellious and free

Here on the riverside
The rhythm of life, it belongs to the tide
From the day we left the womb
We lived by the call of the moon

Our faces
Look over the water
Our backs are to England
Our eyes to the sea

And we stand proud
As Ireland's daughter
America's cousin
Rebellious and free

And all that we are (and all that we are)
And all we can be (and all we can be)
We owe to the fact
We are joined by the sea

Our faces
Look over the water
Our backs are to England
Our eyes to the see

And we stand proud
As Ireland's daughter
America's cousin
Rebellious and free

Our faces
Look over the water
Our backs are to England
Our eyes to the see

And we stand proud
As Ireland's daughter
America's cousin
Rebellious and free
