The land I live in, it has no borders It's under my feet wherever I go Around the world in every corner There's always a family or a friend I know I've seen myself in all their faces I hear my voice when they sing a song The path I walk is nothin' but a trace Of a river of blood runnin' pure and strong The river of blood starts with a trickle High on a mountain when the world is new It flows through time and gathers the memories Washes 'em down over me and you From the ring of Kerry to the streets of London The land down under to the USA Many have tried but none can contain it The river of blood keeps makin' its way It's a river of blood in a valley so wide It's cuttin' its course with a current of pride My soul finds mercy, my heart such peace I get down to the bank, I fall down on my knees Drink from the river of blood Sometimes I walk through a foreign city And people will turn, stop and stare There's somethin' strange that they sense about me The sound of my speech and my curly red hair For a little while I might be lonesome But I know I won't be lost for long Around the bend at the bottom of the hill The river of blood is runnin' pure and strong It's a river of blood in a valley so wide It's cuttin' its course with a current of pride My soul finds mercy, my heart such peace I get down to the bank, I fall down on my knees Drink from the river of blood The land I live in, it has no borders It's under my feet wherever I go Around the world in every corner There's always a family or a friend I know I see myself in all your faces And I hear my voice when you sing a song The paths we walk are nothin' but traces Of a river of blood runnin' pure and strong It's a river blood, it don't have fire I'm down on my knees
