A wall strong in numbers Burns the midnight candle The brave arm in arm Stands before them now Up against the wind Old ways up against the wind The game is in their hands Calling out the colour Togetherness their courage Recognize the power Make a stand before them Old ways follow the beaten track Against the wind Against the wind Defying their leaders Holding out for free will The strong dare to echo Nothing can stop Nothing can stop us now Up against the wind Old ways up against the wind The game is in your hands Reach for every moment In rising generations Capturing the change Make a stand before them Old ways follow the beaten track Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind

about

Strong in Numbers is a celebration of the power of those voices and bodies that resist oppression, unjust silencing and suppression. It is a call for a better world fit for future generations.

But while the sentiments that Moya (also the lead singer with Clannad) expresses in this song are deadly serious, the music pulses with true Irish vigour. With his accordion playing, Liam O'Connor (Lord of the Dance original cast) lifts the song to an Irish-dance anthem with his breathless musicianship.

The song marks a coming together of two prominent Irish musical families - Moya's daughter and son, Aisling and Paul play on the track while her husband, Tim, co-wrote the song and plays cello. Liam's daughter, Saoirse, and son, Oisin, complete the line up along with Irish flute virtuoso, Eamonn De Barra.
