Bardic - The Yearning Remains Candlewalk lyrics

It’s far away were I was born

A land of green, of grass and corn

The towns so old, the people poor

Afraid of what would come,

Afraid of what would come

The hunger spread 'though corn was there

They shipped it out and did not care

We had no rights we could claim

Despair was everywhere,

Despair everywhere

A land of hope so far away

We dreamt of freedom, better days

The morning came when we did leave

And left behind our families,

And left behind our families

The new world gave us jobs and food

But could not change our dismal mood

We missed our people, Ireland’s green

The river and the valleys,

The river and the valleys

One day my people will be free

No poverty, no need to flee

I’m longing for this day to come

Surviving is the game,

Surviivng is the game

It’s far away were I was born

A land of green, of grass and corn

The towns so old, the people free

The flame is still burning,

The flame is still burning
