Lyrics
Christmas In Ireland
At last it?s Christmas in Ireland
Ice white petals sidling down
Blanket silences on old streets
At last its time to share what we all own
The children sleighing down milk white hills
In fear of nothing but cold snow
In a land of sharing love of all mankind
A future gift for all, our own proud throne
And now Christmas in Belfast town
Bodhrans, bones and Lambeag drum
We cross the road and greet our neighbour
The heartbreak of the past has now no home
At last its Christmas in Derry
The walls that part falling down
At last its Christmas in Derry
Peace blanket shrouds our hearts in this our home
And now it?s Christmas in Dublin town
Uillean pipes and blackthorn flute
Liffey, Lagan, Foyle and Shannon flow
Beneath the frozen ice our hearts? blood flows
And now it's Xmas in New South Wales
Roasted turkey golden beach
And now it's Xmas in New South Wales
The Koori and the white fella asleep.
