Damien Dempsey - It's Important lyrics

rate me

My love is strong for those who are gone

Those who have suffered, fought against wrong

I will rejoice that some people fight

They fight against evil, fight for our rights

Someday we'll be happy and free, in harmony, that's right

Everyone will old hatreds kill, differences will unite

It's important, it's important, it's important, to us

And I know we could all live together

Because I've seen it with my own two eyes

Black man, white man, jew and muslim

Seeing no need to despise

To despise something because it is different

Is an evil that has hurt for so long

I've seen them work and play together

And the feeling feels so good, it can't be wrong

And if you see Mr. James Connolly

Will you tell him that it wasn't in vain

Because he made us strong, for to fight against wrong

And a dream that's strong can never be slain

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 I'll try to follow Mr. Daniel O'Connell,

Strike a blow for the downtrodden man

Because to my nation he tried to give emancipation

He was a paddy but for office he ran

And Nelson Mandella is a gem of a fella

He triumphed because his will was so strong

Followed his dream and brought down a regime

Laid foundations he can now build upon

To us, to us, to us,<br />
