Must Ireland Divided Be Songtext
von Wolfe Tones

In this world of troubles and sorrows
With it's wars in far foreign lands
Ireland has made it's contribution to peace
And forgot it's own Troubles at hand

While we live in democracy
They say we're the land of the free
For saints and scholars we've got them to spare
Must Ireland divided be

While the north and south are divided
By religious bigotry
Our people have never decided to live
As one community

While we live in democracy
They say we're the land of the free
For saints and scholars we've got them to spare
Must Ireland divided be


There are countries with problems of colour
And we have a problem of same
It's not black and white it remains to be seen
It's the hate between orange and green

While we live in democracy
They say we're the land of the free
For saints and scholars we've got them to spare
Must Ireland divided be

We've honored our past generations
Men who fought for orange and green
But yet today we have not for filled
The ideal of their dream

While we live in democracy
They say we're the land of the free
For saints and scholars we've got them to spare
Must Ireland divided be

Come gather round people of Ireland
And listen to my plea
Don't listen to bigots let's love and not hate
And strive towards unity


While we live in democracy
They say we're the land of the free
For saints and scholars we'll have them to spare
And united we will be
