My dear sweet Ireland So long fighting Carson against Connelly But you stood through hard rain Til one day the Word came
Peace has broken out No-one knows why It’s happened now We just give thanks That it’s come around Peace has broken out Hearts broken out
Still other fights rage on East, West, right and wrong Some in God’s name begin Bloody lies breaking Him Still He’s let us lay down Our swords on this Holy ground Did you hear that…
Peace has broken out No-one knows why It’s happened now We just give thanks That it’s come around Peace has broken out Hearts broken out
Did you we’re all black and we’re all white We’re all wrong and we’re all right And them and we is you and me
I live next door to you Hardly know you
So I will surrender
And I will surrender
Peace has broken out No-one knows why It’s happened now We just give thanks That it’s come around Peace has broken out Hearts broken out
