The Beautiful Game movie - GOD'S OWN COUNTRY (REPRISE) lyrics

<br>

MARY, CHRISTINE AND DEL<br>

SO FAREWELL TO GOD'S OWN COUNTRY.<br>

WE ARE IRISH AND WE SAIL UPON THE TIDE.<br>

GONE TO SEEK A BETTER PLACE<br>

IT'S THE STORY OF OUR RACE.<br>

<br>

TEARS HAVE ALWAYS FLOWED FROM GOD'S OWN COUNTRY.<br>

THE NATION'S CHILDREN SCATTERED FAR AND WIDE.<br>

BUT NO MATTER WHERE WE ROAM<br>

WE WILL STILL CALL IRELAND HOME.<br>

<br>

IF WE NEVER DO RETURN TO GOD'S OWN COUNTRY,<br>

WE WILL CARRY IT WITHIN US 'TIL WE DIE.<br>

YES A NEW COURSE IS SET BUT WE'LL NEVER FORGET<br>

WHAT WE OWE TO THE COUNTRY WHERE OUR FOREFATHERS LIE.<br>

THOUGH WE KNOW WE MUST PART IT'S WITH SUCH HEAVY HEART,<br>

AND WITH TEARS IN OUR EYES THAT WE SAY OUR LAST GOODBYE.<br>

<br>

SO FAREWELL TO GOD'S OWN COUNTRY.<br>

WE ARE IRISH AND WE SAIL UPON THE TIDE.<br>

GONE TO SEEK A BETTER PLACE,<br>

IT'S THE STORY OF OUR RACE. <br>
