You told me of the peace in Northern Ireland And for lasting peace in Ireland you did pray But now I hear that the hard won peace is endangered Since the terrorists won't give their bombs and guns away. The Ulster paramilitaries have failed to disarm So I heard in the news the other day They want to destabilize the peace agreement The Loyalist terrorists and the I R A. The large majority want peace in Northern Ireland And to the cause of fair play remain true But to wreck the goodwill brought on by power sharing It will only take the bad destructive few. I've heard about the fight for Irish freedom And the stories of famous battles I recall But is any Country worth killing or dying for? There's more to freedom than that after all. And the people of Ireland by goodwill will be united For human love will always conquer hate And there still is hope for lasting peace in Ireland Since the terrorists there are seen as out of date.
