In the Kingdom of Mourne, we climbed mountains at night
A chance to escape the sectarian rite
Moonlight cracks darkness, Shannagh silvers below
Then on to Ben Crom to pitch for the night
The trouble is over, a chance for peace
Smiles upon faces, of people who're free
It's good to be back home again...
Back in the Mournes, a lifetime has passed
Lost memory returns of climbing mountains at night
Life has returned here, the future is bright
Don't look back to the past, climb up to the light
The trouble is over, a chance for peace
Smiles upon faces, of people who're free
It's good to be back home again...
