irish ways irish laws Lyrics

once upon a time there were irish ways and irish laws villages of irish blood walking to the morning. then the vikings came around,turned us up in turned us down ,started building boats and towns ,they tried to change our living (2) Cromwell and his soldiers came(2) started centuries of shame,but they could not make as turn(3)we are river flowing ,we,r river flowing . Again,again the soldiers came,burn our houses stole our grain,shot the farmers in the fields .Working for living,working for living .800 years we have been down(4)the secret of the water sound ,has kept the spiriit of a man,above the pain descending,above the pain descending. today the struggle carries on I wonder will I live so long,to see the gates being open up, to a people and their freedom, a people and their freedom .once upon a time there were irish ways and irish laws ,villages of irish blood walking to the morning,walking to the morning.Sinead Oconnor - irish ways irish laws - http://motolyrics.com/sinead-oconnor/irish-ways-irish-laws-lyrics.html
