Respect to you, mna na h'eireann abu'
Your courage and your empathy gleams
And if you see, Vincent Lingiari

The wave hill walk off, is still held aloft
By all people who must now make a stand

And if you see Robert Nesta Marley
Will you tell him that each and every day
The words that he spoke are still giving us hope
And guiding us through life the right way
And Nelson Mandela was a gem of a fella
He won because his will was so strong
Followed his dream and brought down a regime
He was restless till apartheid was gone
Someday we'll be happy and free
In harmony, that's right
Everyone will, old hatred kill, differences will unite
It's important to us
The differences will unite, yeah
In harmony, that's right, yeah
