Damien Dempsey - It's Important lyrics

My love is strong for those who are gone Those who have suffered, fought against wrong I will rejoice that some people fight They fight against evil, fight for our rights Someday we'll be happy and free, in harmony, that's right Everyone will old hatreds k**, differences will unite It's important, it's important, it's important, to us And I know we could all live together Because I've seen it with my own two eyes Black man, white man, j** and m**m Seeing no need to despise To despise something because it is different Is an evil that has hurt for so long I've seen them work and play together And the feeling feels so good, it can't be wrong And if you see Mr. James Connolly Will you tell him that it wasn't in vain Because he made us strong, for to fight against wrong And a dream that's strong can never be slain And if you see Robert Nesta Marley Will you tell him that each and every day The words that he spoke are still giving us hope And guiding us through life the right way And I'll try to follow Mr. Daniel O'Connell, Strike a blow for the downtrodden man Because to my nation he tried to give emancipation He was a paddy but for office he ran And Nelson Mandella is a gem of a fella He triumphed because his will was so strong Followed his dream and brought down a regime Laid foundations he can now build upon To us, to us, to us,
