(Tommy Makem)
Chorus:
The winds are singing freedom, they sing it everywhere
They sing it on the mountainside and in the city square
They sing of a new day dawning when our people shall be free
Come and join the song of freedom, let it ring from sea to sea
In the battle streets of Belfast you can hear the people cry
For justice long denied them, and their cry will fill the sky
But the winds of change are blowing, bringing hope from dark despair
A new day is dawning, you can feel it in the air
Too long our people suffered in misery and in tears
And foreign rulers used our land for about eight hundred years
It's a long road, has no turning, and I know that soon will be
A day of justice dawning when our people shall be free
There's a time laid out for laughing and there's a time laid out to weep
There's a time laid out for sowing and a time laid out to reap
There's a time to love your brother, there's a time for hate to cease
If you sow the seeds of justice then you'll reap the fruits of peace
(as sung by The Sands Family)
