Celtic Spirit

Arise thy Celtic Spirit
The Gaeltacht is calling you home
Time has taught you well
Diaspora has allowed your spirit to grow
Many a lands has felt your presence
Through persecution and hardship you survived
The Celtic legacy is many
Through superstitions the English try to claim
Through music Americans call their own
Through Australian names and Canadian strength
Let thy music be your melody
Let thy words enlighten all humankind
Though quiet the voice but strong the spirit
Unite thy spirit and let it grow forever more
