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)
