PATRICK'S DAY

When I think of pride I think of heritage,
A bloody history against oppression.
Irish luck from days of old,
Locked inside is a pot of gold.

We came on boats of blood and wood,
in search of something, something real.
Braving depths of the Pacific,
not knowing what to feel but
a better life was the deal.

Never looking back only forward
into the unknown, the unexpected.
You gotta live like you're gonna die,
we started dying the day we started crying.
