Erin Sands cantó la conmovedora canción frente a una audiencia encantada en un pub local.
La canción Grace es muy significativa en la historia de Irlanda. Fue escrita sobre la trágica historia de amor entre Joseph Mary Plunkett y Grace Gifford. Plunkett fue uno de los líderes de la rebelión de Pascua de 1916 y fue condenado a muerte. Los dos se casaron pocas horas antes de que fuera ejecutado.

GRACE
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol
I think about these past few days, 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 for we must say good-bye
Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land
But when Pádhraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O.,
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Now, as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking, too
On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I love so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
There won't be time to share our love for we must say good-bye.
