I was born in londonderry |
|
I was born in derry city too |
|
Oh what a special child |
|
To see such things and still to smile |
|
I know that there was something wrong |
|
But i kept my head down and carried on |
|
I grew up in enniskillen |
|
I grew up in inis ceathlain too |
|
Oh what a clever boy |
|
To watch your hometown be destroyed |
|
I know that would not stay long |
|
So i kept my head down and carried on |
|
Who cares where national borders lie |
|
Who cares whose laws you're governed by |
|
Who cares what name you call a town |
|
Who'll care when you're six feet beneath the ground |
|
From the corner of my eye |
|
A hint of blue in the black sky |
|
A ray of hope, a beam of light |
|
An end to thirty years of night |
|
The church-bells ring, the children sing |
|
What is this strange and beautiful thing |
|
It's the sunrise |
|
Can you see the sunrise? |
|
I can see the sunrise |
