Lyrics

If you search your heart you'll find your Ireland
Although her scattered seeds have travelled far
This longing deep inside of me that's still so strong
May one day lead me back where I belong

Step on the ship ahead and cross the Irish Sea
Don't forget to bring a shamrock back to me
So I can have my special piece of paradise
And closer to that place I know is mine

Give me hope, let me heal
No more sorrow I feel
An Ireland proud and free
For you and me
That's what I see

No more I hear the cries of fear and sacrifice
I pray those days forever left behind
Give me wind to blow the sails of peace and harmony
And let the fires of freedom be my guide

Give me hope, let me heal
No more sorrow I feel
An Ireland proud and free
For you and me
That's what I see

(Instrumental)

Give me hope, let me heal
No more sorrow I feel
An Ireland proud and free
For you and me
That's what I see

If you search your heart you'll find your Ireland

Sweet, engaging song about Ireland. Makes me want to go there and hear this beautiful lady playing this song in fields of green. This is absolutely wonderful to listen to. Perfect harmonies and pitch. Favorite lyric: Bring a shamrock back to me. Can you hear me applauding your work from Indiana?

This has a very nice story. It took me to Ireland....
