This Is My Day
This Is My Day July 16, 2017
Stay with me till my spirits free,
I'll go to the sky where heroes stay
My last farewell, I cannot speak
I cannot see, my final day
I leave my land of Ireland.
It's my time to die
Another country came
Ireland still asks why
Children of my country forced to die
England invaded what would they do
Death on their streets, if only they knew
No welcome mat for me or you
Attacked at night, no freedom light
English homes burning, no protection in sight
The power regime of the foreign queen
The army kills, you know what I mean
Goodbye my country, they've taken my life
An H Block cell, no smiles just strife
The Irish spirit will always be free
No turning back for my comrades and me
Stay with me till my spirits free
I'll go to the sky where heroes stay
Gerrard McGeachy
