The Christian Brothers
The whole country marked
By their education and zeal
For the GAA
But not me!
I am a child
Of the Patricians
With green sashes
On black robes
Tough as hell
Six of the best
To make fainthearted
The hardest
With a flair for art
We were set free
To imagine ourselves
Writers and musicians
As honoured
In our achievement
As much as any
Footballer
Future famous players
Might deny the start
The roads we were given
To travel
Driven beyond our means
And expectations
All over Ireland
Winning all Ireland’s
Without them it would not
Have been possible for us
To have traveled this far
