Under Dublin Skies

[Intrumental Intro] [Verse 1, Irish accent] Born on the Liffey's cold, grey banks, Dublin streets my lullaby Cracked pavement, endless ranks, of weary faces passing by Shared a bed with four, maybe five, under a roof that leaked like rain Belly ached, dreams kept alive, by the fire's glow and a fiddle's strain [Pre-Chorus] Dublin grit, Dublin grime, in these streets my spirit thrives Learned to fight, learned to rhyme, under the Dublin skies [Chorus] Weathered fists and a hardened heart, a song that slaps you in the face This city tore me apart, but it built me up a thousand ways Under Dublin skies Oh-oh-oh Under Dublin skies Dublin skies [Verse 2] School shoes worn thin and frayed, hand-me-downs with holes galore Never a penny to be swayed, by the sweetshop window's lure Heard the laughter, smelled the treats, but hunger gnawed a deeper sting Found my solace in the Dublin beats, a rebel rhythm on the wing [Pre-Chorus] Dublin grit, Dublin grime, in these streets my spirit thrives Learned to fight, learned to rhyme, under the Dublin skies [Chorus] Weathered fists and a hardened heart, a song that slaps you in the face This city tore me apart, but it built me up a thousand ways Under Dublin skies Oh-oh-oh Under Dublin skies Dublin skies [Bridge, Slows down, acoustic guitar with a melancholic melody] Seen the darkness in men's eyes, felt the sting of winter's bite But the Liffey's song never dies, a melody that keeps us right We danced in the rain, sang through the pain, a spirit fire wouldn't bend Dublin might hold us in chains, but our hearts will never descend [Pre-Chorus] Dublin grit, Dublin grime, in these streets my spirit thrives Learned to fight, learned to rhyme, under the Dublin skies [Chorus] Weathered fists and a hardened heart, a song that slaps you in the face This city tore me apart, but it built me up a thousand ways Under Dublin skies Oh-oh-oh Under Dublin skies Dublin skies [Fast guitar solo with a jig rhythm] [Outro] We are Dublin, rough and strong, a melody that won't be beat Raised on hardship, all life long, on these cobbled Dublin streets! Under Dublin skies Oh-oh-oh Under Dublin skies [Fade out] [End]
