The Gathering

From a tiny green Island in the bluest of seas
We've traveled the world throughout history
From the taverns in Boston to the streets of New York
You'll find someone Irish in every city and port

And though we may wander from the South and the North
We carry on when life steers is off course
Rivers of memories flow through your veins
And the heartbeat of home is calling your name

Gather near gather far wherever you are
In the name of ćead míle fálte
Here's to you and I and the times gone by
Won't be long til the next slán abhaile

So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering

For the gathering

So I call to the millions of us abroad
Don't ever forget it's erin go braugh
So I'll bring the stories and you bring the laughs
And we'll drink till the morning like no time has passed

Gather near gather far wherever you are in the name of céad míle fálte
Here's to you and I and the times gone by
Won't be long till the next slán abhaile

So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering

For the gathering

So come along say sláinte
Come along say sláinte
Come along say sláinte
In the name of céad míle fálte

Gather near gather far wherever you are
In the name of céad míle fálte
Here's to you and I and the times gone by
Won't be long till the next slán abhaile

So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
So raise your glass and sing with me...

Gather near gather far wherever you are
In the name of céad míle fálte
Here's to you and I and the times gone by
Won't be long till the next slán abhaile

So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
So raise your glass and sing with me ... for the gathering
