Ronan Hardiman - The Sleeping Tiger lyrics

The song is from the show "Celtic Tiger"

A sleeping tiger wakes

An ancient echo is heard

From the dawn of creation

Old as the Father's first words

A thousand years or more

Of war, struggle and strife

The destiny of a nation

Finally coming to life

(chorus)

Sing me an Irish song, proud and strong

Raise my spirit and show me where I belong

Though I'm far away

Just look how far we've come

With our true colours unfurled

Warriors, poets and dreamers

The envy of all the world

Sing me an Irish song, proud and strong

Raise my spirit and show me where I belong

Though I'm far away.(repeat)
