Finale

Tiernan, at last
In your embrace
How many nights
Did i dream of this face
Seeing you now
Fighting back tears
Finally as one
After so many years?

Is this a dream
My freedom I mean?

All part of the truce
That i struck with the queen
So let us return to home this day
An ireland we hope will at last be free
The cost was dear but it's time that we
Put the past behind us.

You are still grace
Tiernan, my dear
You look a sight
You sir as well.

So much gone wrong
Yet my heart feels so light
Seeing you here, again within reach
I feel like a boy again, back on our beach
So often i recalled those days
Two children loosed on an irish shore
I see us now as we were before
If a little wiser.

I fought my wars on land and sea
To be a woman strong and free
I should have learned, at journey's start
No woman's free who ignores her heart.

So before another hour slips past
Let's put our feelings first, at last.

It's time to stand and say once more
The words we tried to say before
I'll say it now and I'll swear it's true
For once and for forever I love you.

May god bless
The bride and groom
May he bless them both
Their love to bloom.

And god bless ireland
May there be god's peace at last
In our land.
