Push the Land Away
[Verse] We'll take the spades and shovels Lads Dig up the roots of ancient past Push the land away So fast Make those redcoats swim at last [Verse 2] From Dingle Bay to Donegal We'll break the chains Won't be so small Let the waves form a tall wall And hear our freedom's hearty call [Chorus] Push the land away Push it far Let the raging sea be the scar Keep 'em out Keep 'em at bay We'll live free another day [Verse 3] Leave our cliffs and Celts alone We'll mark our soil with sacred stone From Tara’s throne we make it known By the sea our courage’s grown [Bridge] Through storm and squall we will prevail Our spirits high We set the sail No more in chains No more to jail On this island We'll write our tale [Verse 4] Gather friends From hill and dale Raise a glass of strength and ale Move our land beyond the pale Defy the winds and hail
