 Sunrise in the window
 A vessel in the bay
 Her father was the captain
 And he would sail today
 She fed the kitten and the hen
 Jumped the gate and then
 She cut off her hair, found shoes to wear
 To look like one of the men
 Her father he made fun
 Oh no what have you done
 I know you'd love to come my dear
 But Grace you're far too young - and he said
 No woman sails the sea
 They would become weak at the knee
 Stay here, be safe, on Erin's shore, just listen here to me
 For you it cannot be, there are dangers out on the sea
 Stay here, be safe, on Erin's shore just listen here to me
 Oh, oh
 
 She felt the sun on her face
 The waves beneath her feet
 Her father stood beside her
 Laughing at his own defeat
 She washed the cannon and the gun
 Jumped the stairs and then
 The captain roared a warning
 All hands on deck, my men
 Get down below my lass he said
 This danger too shall pass
 My men and I will defend the ship
 And you will be safe at last
 Oh, oh
 Oh
 I will tell you a story of a girl young and bright
 Red sky at night was her favorite light
 Of saltwater, danger and true bravery
 And the day Grace O'Malley first sailed the sea

 Gunfire overhead
 Dust fell to the floor
 Grace refused to stay below
 And crept out of the door
 She climbed the rigging and the mast
 Looked behind and then
 A man behind her father came
 A pirate with dagger in hand
 She leapt down from the mast
 Her cry alerted the crew
 Onto the pirate's back she fell
 Before he ever knew
 Here was an answer to their prayers
 Victory was theirs
 She saved the ship from pirates
 And she saved her father's crew - and they said
 This woman sails the sea
 She won't become weak at the knee
 She is the pride of Erin's shore, just listen here to me
 For her it will always be a life upon the sea
 She is the pride of Erin's shore, just listen here to me
 Oh, oh
 Oh
 I will tell you a story of a girl young and bright
 Red sky at night was her favorite light
 Of saltwater, danger and true bravery
 And the day Grace O'Malley first sailed the sea
