Just A Normal Belfast Dude
Just A Normal Belfast Dude July 10, 2016
Growing up in Belfast, living the life I thought was good
Happy days with friends, just a normal Belfast dude
Sometimes we watched Celtic with a trip to Glasgow by the Clyde
We wore our Celtic jerseys singing our songs with pride
Things changed, the army came here, there was trouble on the way
They said they came as peace keepers, we knew they were here to stay
My father was taken for an interview and never made it back
They never told us why he died, that night our family cried
Many people were taken, some never came home
Children were killed, some died all alone
Derry got hit by the same killing brit while carrying flags of peace
Fourteen died as Ireland cried, when will the killing cease
Six counties in the north of my island faced trouble on our street
No clothes for the ten men they killed, the Irish will never be beat
Our martyrs are high up above in Ireland in the sky
We still have unfinished business, join our cause, please ask why
Some day we'll have Irish freedom, we'll join hands with tears of joy
A country where everyone is equal, a country our children enjoy
No more we'll lose our people, live in peace to the very end
We will finally walk tall,Irish and proud, reach out and make a friend
Growing up in Belfast, living the life I thought was good
Happy days with friends, just a normal Belfast dude
