The Divine Comedy

Sunrise

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 I could 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
