Bardic - The Yearning Remains/Candlewalk Lyrics
It's far away were I was bornA land of green, of grass and cornThe towns so old, the people poorAfraid of what would come,Afraid of what would comeThe hunger spread 'though corn was thereThey shipped it out and did not careWe had no rights we could claimDespair was everywhere,Despair everywhereA land of hope so far awayWe dreamt of freedom, better daysThe morning came when we did leaveAnd left behind our families,And left behind our familiesThe new world gave us jobs and foodBut could not change our dismal moodWe missed our people, Ireland's greenThe river and the valleys,The river and the valleysOne day my people will be freeNo poverty, no need to fleeI'm longing for this day to comeSurviving is the game,Surviving is the gameIt's far away were I was bornA land of green, of grass and cornThe towns so old, the people freeThe flame is still burning,The flame is still burning
