Sunrise in the window
A vessel in the bay
Her father was the captain
And he would sail today
She fed the kitten and the hen
Jumped the gate and then
She cut off her hair, found shoes to wear
To look like one of the men
Her father he made fun
Oh no what have you done
I know you'd love to come my dear
But Grace you're far too young - and he said
No woman sails the sea
They would become weak at the knee
Stay here, be safe, on Erin's shore, just listen here to me
For you it cannot be, there are dangers out on the sea
Stay here, be safe, on Erin's shore just listen here to me
Oh, oh

She felt the sun on her face
The waves beneath her feet
Her father stood beside her
Laughing at his own defeat
She washed the cannon and the gun
Jumped the stairs and then
The captain roared a warning
All hands on deck, my men
Get down below my lass he said
This danger too shall pass
My men and I will defend the ship
And you will be safe at last
Oh, oh
Oh
I will tell you a story of a girl young and bright
Red sky at night was her favorite light
Of saltwater, danger and true bravery
And the day Grace O'Malley first sailed the sea

Gunfire overhead
Dust fell to the floor
Grace refused to stay below
And crept out of the door
She climbed the rigging and the mast
Looked behind and then
A man behind her father came
A pirate with dagger in hand
She leapt down from the mast
Her cry alerted the crew
Onto the pirate's back she fell
Before he ever knew
Here was an answer to their prayers
Victory was theirs
She saved the ship from pirates
And she saved her father's crew - and they said
This woman sails the sea
She won't become weak at the knee
She is the pride of Erin's shore, just listen here to me
For her it will always be a life upon the sea
She is the pride of Erin's shore, just listen here to me
Oh, oh
Oh
I will tell you a story of a girl young and bright
Red sky at night was her favorite light
Of saltwater, danger and true bravery
And the day Grace O'Malley first sailed the sea
