Jig Of The Century

As I recall, a sea of green
 (The story starts and this is how it's been told)
 The fairest maid I have ever seen
 (And from this day his heart was ever so bold)
 Is it right? Is it wrong? Guess time will tell
 But what will they say back home?
 (What will they say back home?)
 I fought them all and I fought them well
 (And that's an act of bravery alone)
 She made me believe, made me choose
 Trust in her words and then just lose it all
 ♪
 In times like these, in times like those
 (Thе time was right for him to take a chance)
 It's what I seek, of what wе speak
 In her grace and my how we danced
 For all things holy
 Hope and glory
 Rise and shine
 Now is the time
 For merry-making and fireworks in the sky
 Raise our glasses
 In triumph and laughter
 Sing hallelujah, rejoice he was found
 ♪
 The silence so eerie
 My dear, I gave you my all
 Danced to the sound of a world in despair
 Fading hopes but our future laid bare
 Blessed and now the dice it was cast
 We came to taste our freedom at last
 ♪
 The wheel of time
 And so many miles
 (The end of our tale is drawing near)
 For what a way to end my trials
 (He remembers the words he held so dear)
 A promise made and a promise saved
 And I know what they say back home
 So when they lay me down to rest
 (Words of pride will be carved into his stone)
 She made me believe, made me choose
 Trust in her words and then just lose it all
 Rise and shine
 Now's the time
 For merry-making and fireworks in the sky
 Raise our glasses
 In triumph and laughter
 Sing hallelalalalujah! Rejoice, he was found
 ♪
 Danced to the sound of a world in despair
 Fading hopes but our future laid bare
 Blessed and now the dice it was cast
 We came to taste our freedom at last
