Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Home to Ireland (Cathy Ross)
Subject: ADD: Home to Ireland ^^
Would this be the song you wanted? (A friend just emailed me that you had posted this request)

               Home To Ireland

I went over to Ireland to just say hello
To honor ancestors who left long ago
But when I saw the green hills and the mist rolling slow
I knew that my heart had come home

CHORUS:I've come home to Ireland from 200 years
To people with faces like looking in mirrors
We sang some old songs, and we cried some old tears
And I knew that my heart had come home.

I wandered the lands my ancestors had known
Killarney, Kilkenny, Tralee and Tyrone
And wherever I'd go, 'twas "come in and sit down"
And I knew that my heart had come home
(chorus)

From the north to the south, they told one wish to me
Peace for all Ireland, united and free
For a land with no borders except for the sea
A land with one heart and one home.
(chorus)
