From a tiny green Island in the bluest of seas We've traveled the world throughout history From the taverns in Boston to the streets of New York You'll find someone Irish in every city and port And though we may wander from the South and the North We carry on when life steers is off course Rivers of memories flow through your veins And the heartbeat of home is calling your name Gather near gather far wherever you are In the name of ćead míle fálte Here's to you and I and the times gone by Won't be long til the next slán abhaile So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering For the gathering So I call to the millions of us abroad Don't ever forget it's erin go braugh So I'll bring the stories and you bring the laughs And we'll drink till the morning like no time has passed Gather near gather far wherever you are in the name of céad míle fálte Here's to you and I and the times gone by Won't be long till the next slán abhaile So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering For the gathering So come along say sláinte Come along say sláinte Come along say sláinte In the name of céad míle fálte Gather near gather far wherever you are In the name of céad míle fálte Here's to you and I and the times gone by Won't be long till the next slán abhaile So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering So raise your glass and sing with me... Gather near gather far wherever you are In the name of céad míle fálte Here's to you and I and the times gone by Won't be long till the next slán abhaile So raise your glass and sing with me for the gathering So raise your glass and sing with me ... for the gathering Sláinte
