YouTube is going hard on leftist censorship.

Lyrics:

  • For those who are in love
  • There's a song that's warm and tender
  • For those who are oppressed
  • In song you can protest
  • So liberate your minds
  • And give your soul expression
  • Open up your hearts
  • I'll sing to you this song

🎵

[Chorus]

  • Oh, let the people sing their stories and their songs
  • The music of their native land
  • Their lullabies and battle cries and songs of hope and joy
  • So join us hand in hand
  • All across this ancient land
  • Throughout the test of time
  • It was music that kept their spirits free
  • Those songs of yours and of mine

🎵

  • It was back in ancient times
  • When the bard would tell his stories
  • Of the heroes, of the villains
  • Of the chieftains in the glen
  • Through Elizabethian times
  • And Cromwellian war and fury
  • Put our pipers to the sword
  • Killed our harpers and our bards

🎵

[Chorus]

  • Let the people sing their stories and their songs
  • The music of their native land
  • Their lullabies and battle cries and songs of hope and joy
  • So join us hand in hand
  • All across this ancient land
  • Throughout the test of time
  • It was music that kept their spirits free
  • Those songs of yours and of mine

🎵

  • Oh, Ireland, land of song
  • Your music lives forever
  • In its valleys, in its mountains
  • In its hills and in its glen
  • Our music did survive
  • Through famine and depression
  • To the generations gone
  • I'll sing to you this song

🎵

[Chorus]

  • Oh, let the people sing their stories and their songs
  • The music of their native land
  • Their lullabies and battle cries and songs of hope and joy
  • So join us hand in hand
  • All across this ancient land
  • Throughout the test of time
  • It was music that kept our spirits free
  • Those songs of yours and of mine

🎵

[Chorus]

  • This land is your land, this land is my land
  • From the northern highlands to the western islands
  • From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
  • This land was made for you and me

🎵

  • As I was walking by the Shannon water
  • Hand in hand with my little daughter
  • And the church bell ringin', and the children singin'
  • This land was made for you and me

🎵

[Chorus]

  • This land is your land, this land is my land
  • From the northern highlands to the western islands
  • From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
  • This land was made for you and me

🎵

  • So I walked her home by the old church steeple
  • Proud of my country, proud of my people
  • Of the men who tried there, and of the men who died there singin'
  • This land was made for you and me

🎵

[Chorus]

  • This land is your land, this land is my land
  • From the northern highlands to the western islands
  • From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
  • This land was made for you and me

🎵

  • Then I climbed a mountain, saw the crystal fountain
  • And heard a great roar from the rocky sea shore
  • Her eyes were gleamin', she said oho Daddy
  • This land was made for you and me

🎵

[Chorus]

  • This land is your land, this land is my land
  • From the northern highlands to the western islands
  • From the hills of Kerry to the streets of Free Derry
  • This land was made for you and me
