Born just a year apart, close bond from the start
They always showed true strength of spirit
Running free around Lisheen, two boys who dared to dream
Pure will to win in every heartbeat
Their parents felt it could be so
“Let’s teach our children how to row”
Their father took them to the water and a flame was lit
They said “together we’ll row”, two brothers in a boat
And they went to Rio and they kept their dreams afloat
Our Olympic heroes, Gary and Paul
No dream too big, you’ve taught us to believe
Two hearts in harmony, such strength in unity
Pull like a dog to get from A to B
There’s a third man in the boat, Dominic their first-class coach
He lets the rowing do the talking
These men with fire in their blood
Changed Irish rowing forever
All through grit and determination and sheer hard work
In Brazil they made us proud, we cried, we laughed out loud,
Silver for rowing, gold for interviews,
In the boat, telepathy, in their words, philosophy
Our boys made everything seem easy
Their wit and wisdom charmed the world
We watched the tri-colour unfurl
And we’ll always remember 2016
As the year the whole Olympics was won by Skibbereen
(Our Olympic Heroes, pull like a dog, you made us proud in Rio)
