The Winds Are Singing Freedom

Unknown 

In the battered streets of Belfast

You can hear the people cry

For justice long denied them

And their cry will fill the sky

But the winds of change are blowing

Bringing hope from dark despair

A new day is dawning

You can feel it in the air.

[chorus]

The winds are singing freedom

They sing it everywhere

They sing it on the mountainside

And in the city square

They sing of a new day dawning

When our people shall be free

Come and join the song of freedom

Let it ring from sea to sea.  

Too long our people suffered

In misery and tears

And foreign rulers used our land

For about eight hundred years

It's a long road has no turning

And I know that soon will be

A day of justice dawning

When our people shall be free.

There's a time laid out for laughing

And there's a time laid aout to weep

There's a time laid out for sowing

And a time laid out to reap

There's a time to love your brother

There's a time for hate to cease

If you sow the seeds of justice

Then you'll reap the fruits of peace.
