Where Are The Dreamers
(Agnew -Starling)
Where are all the lovers and the builders of the Nations
Where are the flowers from Nineteen Sixteen
When It’s every one for themselves the Devils take the hindmost
Where are the dreamers
When we see the Ancient Ship her sails ablaze on the horizon
Where are the flowers from Nineteen Sixteen
Where are the Dreamers
Joseph in Kilmainham waits for the moment to Arrive
To greet Grace Gifford triumphant by his side
After the ring there’ll be a gunshot after the final goodbye
Before the blood and the cordite and a brave Fenian cry
Before the blood and the cordite another brave Fenian bride
Where are all the lovers and the builders of the Nations
Where are the flowers from Nineteen Sixteen
When It’s every one for themselves the Devils take the hindmost
Where are the dreamers
When we see the Ancient Ship her sails ablaze on the horizon
Where are the flowers from Nineteen Sixteen
Where are the Dreamers
Grace beneath the clock at Clearys knowing Plunkett must die
That her Easter Dream was fading like the lillies outside
Dublin’s in ruins and she’s in turmoil after Liberty’s call
Had been answered still she treasured the dream for us all
We must cherish the seeds and the dream for us all
On what they did dream we’ve built so well upon
Ahh but there’s so much that’s left undone
Where are all the lovers and the builders of the Nations
Where are the flowers from Nineteen Sixteen
When It’s every one for themselves the Devils take the hindmost
Where are the dreamers
Where are all the lovers and the builders of the Nations
Where are the flowers from Nineteen Sixteen
Where are the Dreamers
Where are the Dreamers
