| lyric | I was walking down by Island Bridge,
just going as I pleased.
The same blue day the sun was warm.
There was just a gentle breeze.
I wlaked up by the old stone steps,
in to the Phoenix Park.
Watched the children run and play
in the hours before the dark.
Chorus:
Meet me at the Pillar son.
Please meet me there at noon.
I need you brave young Irishmen.
Ther’s something we must do.
Meet me at the Pillar son.
For still it’s not too late.
It’s time to sing a freedom song,
for soon I cannot wait.
I walked up to the monument
And lay there on the ground.
In the distance I could hear the drums.
I heard the battle sound
And I don't know what came over me
For a moment I could hear
The pleading of a soldier boy
Kept calling in my ear. |
