[00:15.31]I was born in a country where people admire
[00:19.50]Their great sporting heroes and how they aspire
[00:24.08]To stand upon mountains and always be winners
[00:28.27]And never give less than their all
[00:32.65]I once met an old man who told me great stories
[00:36.62]Of legends of old who played hard for the glory
[00:41.11]Of lifting the cup in that moment of triumph
[00:45.19]These memories kept me enthralled
[00:49.52]On the fields, the fields of glory
[00:57.97]On the fields where boys become men
[01:06.79]On the fields, the fields of glory
[01:15.40]May the best team win, win in the end
[01:24.32]Supporting their team with a true sense of place
[01:28.25]Are the handfuls of people with pride on their faces
[01:32.98]They come from the townlands, the parish, the village
[01:37.16]Their banners they proudly unfurl
[01:41.68]An anthem of hope is the song they are singing
[01:45.80]The whistle, it sounds and the game, it begins
[01:50.18]And the roar of the crowd echoes up to the heavens
[01:54.47]It sends out a clarion call
[01:58.85]On the fields, the fields of glory
[02:07.57]On the fields where boys become men
[02:16.32]On the fields, the fields of glory
[02:24.73]May the best team win, win in the end
[02:33.90]I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather
[02:37.98]A crowd of young lads playing football together
[02:42.37]All hoping that someday the call they will answer
[02:46.75]To play for the place they were born
[02:50.88]On the fields, the fields of glory
[02:59.26]On the fields where boys become men
[03:07.87]On the fields, the fields of glory
[03:16.69]May the best team win, win in the end
[03:25.61]I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather
[03:29.99]A crowd of young lads playing football together
[03:34.22]The roar of the crowd echoes up to the heavens
[03:38.66]It sends out a clarion call
