GIVE ME YOUR HAND
(Tabhair dom do lámh)

Just give me your hand
Tabhair dom do lámh
Just give me your hand
And I'll walk with you
Through the streets of our land
Through the mountains so grand
If you give me your hand
Just give me your hand
And come along with me
Will you give me your hand
And the world it can see
That we can be free
In peace and harmony?
From the north to the south
From the east to the west
Every mountain, every valley
Every bush and birds nest!

Just give me your hand
Tabhair dom do lámh
Just give me your hand
For the world it is ours
All the sea and the land
To destroy or command
If you give me your hand
Just give me your hand
In a gesture of peace
Will you give me your hand
And all troubles will cease
For the strong and the weak
For the rich and the poor?
All peoples and creeds
Let's meet their needs
With a passion, we can fashion
A new world of love!

Chorus:
By day and night
Through all struggle and strife
And beside you, to guide you
Forever, my love
For love's not for one
But for both of us to share
For our country so fair
For our world and what's there
