When a man walks out of his house one day 

Looks up to a big blue sky 

Thinks about his past 

And looks to the future 

And then the answer sparkles in his eye 



Oh yes, we're freedom fighters with mandolins 

We're not here for to blow you away 

We've got songs in our hearts 

And guitars in our hands 

And we're lookin' for peace some fine day 



And if you're goin' up north or way down south 

Or west to Galway bay 

Keep an open heart 

With lots of love 

And then you'll find people on your way 



They'll be freedom fighters with mandolins 

They won't be here for to blow you away 

They'll have songs in their hearts 

And guitars in their hands 

And they're lookin' for peace some fine day 



Well he found the answer it was short and sweet 

Simple for anyone to see 

That if your soul is free 

And your heart is in the right place 

Then you know you're headin' down the right street



Oh yes, we're freedom fighters with mandolins 

We're not here for to blow you away 

We've got songs in our hearts 

And guitars in our hands 

And we're lookin' for peace some fine day

Oh, yes we're lookin' for peace some fine day

Oh, yes we're lookin' for peace some fine day
