lyrics

Beyond the covered, clovering fields
Beyond the pots of gold
There's a story to behold, long in Ireland told

Maeowen Socket was his name
The boy was sold as a slave
Many a year, he worked without pay
He learned to trust God and pray

Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Patrick's Day,
Let's all lift a glass and say
Thank God for Saint Patrick's Day

Once the boy, he got away
He served in the church, and they changed his name
Yes, the name of Patrick they gave
It sounds much more like a Saint

Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Patrick's Day,
Let's all lift a glass and say
Thank God for Saint Patrick's Day

A Vision he had of people in need
Back on Ireland's Shores
His heart was moved and he believed
God's love would open up the door

Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Patrick's Day,
Let's all lift a glass and say
Thank God for Saint Patrick's Day

So Don't just listen to this song
Think about where you belong
Where will ya go, and what will ya do
To stand up for love and truth

Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Patrick's Day,
Let's all lift a glass and say
Thank God for Saint Patrick's Day
