Ronan Hardiman – The Sleeping Tiger lyrics

The song is from the show "Celtic Tiger"

A sleeping tiger wakes
An ancient echo is heard
From the dawn of creation
Old as the Father’s first words

A thousand years or more
Of war, struggle and strife
The destiny of a nation
Finally coming to life

(chorus)
Sing me an Irish song, proud and strong
Raise my spirit and show me where I belong
Though I’m far away

Just look how far we’ve come
With our true colours unfurled
Warriors, poets and dreamers
The envy of all the world

Sing me an Irish song, proud and strong
Raise my spirit and show me where I belong
Though I’m far away.(repeat)
