When I was a lad, I had music in me
My father remembers it, fondly to be
Said I had rhythm before I could walk
Oh, his heart songs last
Though his time has passed
Lift your hearts and sing with us
One strong voice to raise you up
Songs sung for me and for you
And forever, together we're the music makers
Verse
it is well I remember her singing to me
The sweetest of voices there ever could be
My mother's keepsake, it's plain now to see
Was her secret key
Her beautiful melody
Lift your hearts and sing with us
One strong voice to raise you up
Songs sung for me and for you
And forever, together we're the music makers
Verse
A travelling piper, that was his trade
The dancer at the crossroads, to the music he made
The barroom's all gone now, but his legend survives
They hum his tunes today
Distant pipes still play
Instrumental
Verse
We share a voice with the great balladeers
The legacy carried, we're proud to be here
The gifts that they gave us, we now give to you
So, for one last time
Before we say goodnight
Lift your hearts and sing with us
One strong voice to raise you up
Songs sung for me and for you
And forever, together
Lift your hearts and sing with us
One strong voice to raise you up
Songs sung for me and for you
And forever, together
And together, forever we're the music makers
