A Little Bit Irish


I woke up with a smile and a song in my soul
Like an old green river running bright and bold
There’s a spark in the air, there’s a fire in my stride
And a saint in the heavens saying, enjoy the ride

Got a story or two and a few old dreams
Some held together by faith and seams
But tonight I feel lucky, like the whole world’s right
And everybody’s a poet when the moon shines bright

I’m a little bit Irish tonight
Got my heart lit up and my spirit burning bright
Raise your glass, raise your voice, let the whole world sing
For the joy, for the love, for the hope it brings
I’m a little bit Irish tonight
With a song in my chest and a tear in my eye
For the friends, for the roads, for the days gone by
Yeah, I’m a little bit Irish tonight

There’s a laugh in the wind and a tune in the street
You can hear old memories tapping their feet
From the hills of the past to the here and now
You don’t ask for a blessing, it just finds you somehow

For the ones we have loved and the ones we still miss
For the grace in the struggle and the good in the kiss
For the long working days and the songs we write
May the good Lord keep us through the dark of night

I’m a little bit Irish tonight
Got my heart lit up and my spirit burning bright
Raise your glass, raise your voice, let the whole world sing
For the joy, for the love, for the hope it brings
I’m a little bit Irish tonight
With a song in my chest and a tear in my eye
For the friends, for the roads, for the days gone by
Yeah, I’m a little bit Irish tonight

So here’s to the dreamers, the broken, the brave
To the ones who kept dancing when they should’ve been afraid
Here’s to the fighters who still believe
There’s gold in tomorrow if you don’t you leave

I’m a little bit Irish tonight
And the stars above are shining green and white
Raise your hands, raise your soul, let the feeling fly
Let the music roll like a battle cry
I’m a little bit Irish tonight
With a prayer on my lips and the world in sight
For the love, for the life, for the sweet daylight
Yeah, I’m a little bit Irish tonight

A little bit lucky
A little bit free
A little bit Irish
Is a good thing to be
