Back Home To Ireland (for the 1st time) Author:Donal O'Shaughnessy Copyright:2000 
There's a spirit that flows in an Irishman's soul And carries within it, all the dreams of the past Deep in our memories are the greatest of those Believers, and Dreamers, who died with a hope That the freedom ship sails With an Irish flag high on its mast 
Those who can realize these feelings of pride To be linked to the people of this storied land I return to this island and know deep inside The stongest, the bravest, the faithful and true Grant me welcome with smiles, and joy In their open hands 
Chorus Back home to Ireland for the first time As I gaze on your fields and your shores In each Irishman's heart there's a part of you inside In my heart I have been here before 
Time calls upon me to fly o're the sea To answer those voices, they're calling me home The history has taught me what I am to love My family, my country, to worship my God It's your spirit that lives in my heart and the depths of my soul 
Chorus
