The Gathering

From a tiny green Island in the bluest of seas
 We've traveled the world throughout history
 From the taverns in Boston to the streets of New York
 You'll find someone Irish in every city and port
 And though we may wander from the South and the North
 We carry on when life steers is off course
 Rivers of memories flow through your veins
 And the heartbeat of home is calling your name
 Gather near gather far wherever you are
 In the name of ćead míle fálte
 Here's to you and I and the times gone by
 Won't be long til the next slán abhaile
 So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
 So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
 For the gathering
 So I call to the millions of us abroad
 Don't ever forget it's erin go braugh
 So I'll bring the stories and you bring the laughs
 And we'll drink till the morning like no time has passed
 Gather near gather far wherever you are in the name of céad míle fálte
 Here's to you and I and the times gone by
 Won't be long till the next slán abhaile
 So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
 So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
 For the gathering
 So come along say sláinte
 Come along say sláinte
 Come along say sláinte
 In the name of céad míle fálte
 Gather near gather far wherever you are
 In the name of céad míle fálte
 Here's to you and I and the times gone by
 Won't be long till the next slán abhaile
 So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
 So raise your glass and sing with me...
 Gather near gather far wherever you are
 In the name of céad míle fálte
 Here's to you and I and the times gone by
 Won't be long till the next slán abhaile
 So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering
 So raise your glass and sing with me ... for the gathering
