The Grandfather Lyrics Without The Chords
Back to The Wolfe Tones Songs
Chorus
We could be as free as the wild flowers on the mountains
As the birds upon the ocean, as the waves upon the sand
Come the winters gale, lets set the wheels in motion
Rise up my friends and countrymen come join along with me.
Build the mountain high, blossom with integrity
Problems never die, without answering the cause
Well set the hills and ablaze with words of revolution
The beauracrats amaze the birds have flown their cage
Chorus
But friends are acting strange, my mother has forsaken me
The men in black have spoken with an awful evil tongue
That man who speaks the words of love and understanding
Has turned my humbled frame to the darkness of its fire. -G
But will you come with me to the buttercups and daisies
Over hills and mountains beneath the sky above
The earth can be our truth when the truth has been our sorrow
So rise my friends and countrymen come join along with me.
In union there is strength, well find our strength in numbers
Lets organize ourselves into a powerful band
Is it difficult to see this worlds so ill divided
Is it hard for you and me to face these problems all
