"Grace" tells the tragic love story of Grace Gifford and Joseph Mary Plunkett and is set against the backdrop of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. As one of the leaders of the Easter Rising, Joseph was sentenced to death by the British. The song recounts Joseph and Grace's brief marriage, which took place just hours before Joseph's execution. The song is a powerful tribute to Ireland’s history and the sacrifices made for its freedom.
Lyrics: As we gathered in the chapel here in Old Kilmainham Gaol I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed? From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand The love I bear for these brave men, my love for my dear land So when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too On this May morn' as I walk out, my thoughts will be with you And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye Now there won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye ❤❤❤❤

Lyrics: As we gathered in the chapel here in Old Kilmainham Gaol
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for my dear land
So when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn' as I walk out, my thoughts will be with you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye
Now there won't be time to share our love, so we must say goodbye
❤❤❤❤
