Whould you be superstitious, happy, down to earth, call a spade a spade, and have a spit fire temper? If so, you be wearing green on the 17th and no one will ever change you but the road will rise to meet you and the wind will always be at your back and the Lord will hold you in the hollow of His hand for you are and will always Irish. LE GRA GO BRA and EIRE GO BRA to you, the Irish.

We are the sons and daughters of Hibernia Proud heirs of an ancient legacy We've settled every corner of the globe Driven from our homeland by famine and oppression Or simply by the restless spirit that's our birthright. Wherever we go, we bring with us a love of freedom A melancholy humour, a biting wit, and a golden tongue But regardless of where destiny may bring us We're linked to the land of our ancestors By an ethereal thread that binds the heart And reminds us always that we are an unique people WE ARE THE IRISH
