When Ireland Comes In To Her Own 1919

There's a feeling so grand
sweeping over the land
that must thrill you where e'er you may be.
Like the birds and the bees,
and the breeze o'er the seas,
all creation is soon to be free.

Alsace is as free as The Holy Land,
And so is her sister, Lorraine,
The Slavs ev'rywhere are as free as the air,
and Belgium's unshackled again;
For each State that's given her liberty,
a new star up yonder is shown,
what a beautiful dream,
sure all Heaven will gleam,
when Ireland comes into Her own.

Alsace is as free as The Holy Land,
And so is her sister, Lorraine,
The Slavs ev'rywhere are as free as the air,
and Belgium's unshackled again;
For each State that's given her liberty,
a new star up yonder is shown,
what a beautiful dream,
sure all Heaven will gleam,
when Ireland comes into Her own.

Tho' the wee bit of green
wasn't anywhere seen,
her brave sons, the world over, were there.
In the South, in the West,
breast to breast with the rest,
they were fighting for you ev'ry where.

Alsace is as free as The Holy Land,
And so is her sister, Lorraine,
The Slavs ev'rywhere are as free as the air,
and Belgium's unshackled again;
For each State that's given her liberty,
a new star up yonder is shown,
what a beautiful dream,
sure all Heaven will gleam,
when Ireland comes into Her own.

Alsace is as free as The Holy Land,
And so is her sister, Lorraine,
The Slavs ev'rywhere are as free as the air,
and Belgium's unshackled again;
For each State that's given her liberty,
a new star up yonder is shown,
what a beautiful dream,
sure all Heaven will gleam,
when Ireland comes into Her own.
