Subject: Lyr Add: HOME FIRES (Ron Kavana)
Sorry, Joe, but I found the lyrics he was looking for....though I didn't find a tune for it.

Home Fires
(words & music by Ron Kavana)

We had four green fields,
but that was long ago.
You've held our loved on hostage for so long.
We had four fine sons, 'til you took one away.
But we'll never give up hope for his return.

Chorus: And we'll keep the home fires burning,
Keep the flame of liberty alive.
For the fire burns bright , in our hearts tonight,
For the long lost prodigal's return.
And we're mindful

The Guilford Four, the Six from Birmingham,
All guilty of being Irish, nothing more.
After all this time, it's still the bloody same,
Can't we ever expect justice from your courts.

(CHORUS)

Divide and rule has ever been your game,
You'd keep the fires of bigotry flamed high.
But don't dare assume
you'll ever win this game.
The Irish will rule Ireland in our time!
