The Belfast Wall
The Belfast Wall April 11, 2015
The wall of hate separates my land
Built by the forces of division and shame
Dividing our people, behind the wall unfree
Ireland for the Irish, my future friend like me
When we meet I want to ask you after we say hello
Can we take down the wall of hate, say yes, never no
Free the Belfast children, every single one
Take down the wall of hate, the sun will shine again
I want a life with Irish friends, enjoy the morning sun
I want to share my life with the children on the other side
Bricks and steel hide the sun
Bricks and steel of that foreign Hun
Who lives there, say you care
I want to meet them I give a care
The stranger on the other side
Share a wish, walk with pride
Join the children behind this wall
Do it now, the wall must fall
The foreign people planted our land
Borders in our island divides our land
I want to meet my friend next door
Walk together, share the Irish shore
Many Irish people died without goodbye
Taken from us we both still cry
The wall of hate separates our land
Built by the forces of division and shame
Dividing our people, behind the wall unfree
Ireland for the Irish, my unfree friend like me
