Irish Son Lyrics - Westlife

Verse 1 

I was born in the heart of Dublin 

To a holy book full of rules 

Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools 

We were warped by the Christian Brothers 

In the cell blocks at our schools 

Get a handprint on your skin 

From a claw of jewels 

Go hit me now 

That I'm twice your size 

Brushed off the accusations 

And bowed before your lies

Chorus 1 

This is the city that raised me 

With the religion they gave me 

Now I'm old enough to know my own mind 

And it was leaving that saved me 

I've seen so much that has changed me 

So just break with your past 

Feed your own mind 

This Irish son has moved with the times 

Verse 2 

Weddings deaths and baptizing children 

That's my debt paid to the church 

I don't need that kind of salvation 

When I get hurt 

Don't fill my head with sermons 

And force me to believe 

Chorus 2 

This is the city that raised me 

With the religion they gave me 

Now I'm old enough to know my own mind 

And it was leaving that saved me 

I've seen so much that has changed me 

So just break with your past 

Feed your own mind 

Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times 

Verse3 

Our father who art in heaven 

Come down here and make your presence known 

We can't do it on our own 

The lunatics let run the asylum 

How can we find peace inside your home 

When you can't trust your own 

Chorus 3 

This is the city that raised me 

With the religion they gave me 

Now I'm old enough to know my own mind 

But it was leaving that saved me 

I've seen so much that has changed me 

So just break with your past 

Feed your own mind 

Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times 

Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
