Lyrics
0:05I was born in londonderry
0:10I was born in derry city too
0:17Oh what a special child
0:21To see such things and still to smile
0:34I know that there was something wrong
0:45But I kept my head down and carried on
0:49I grew up in enniskillen
0:52I grew up in inis ceathlain too
0:55Oh what a clever boy
0:58To watch your hometown be destroyed
1:04I know that would not stay long
1:09So I kept my head down and carried on
1:20Who cares where national borders lie
1:27Who cares whose laws you're governed by
1:33Who cares what name you call a town
1:40Who'll care when you're six feet beneath the ground
2:12From the corner of my eye
2:17A hint of blue in the black sky
2:23A ray of hope a beam of light
2:28An end to thirty years of night
2:34The church bells ring the children sing
2:39What is this strange and beautiful thing
2:44It's the sunrise
2:45Can you see the sunrise
2:51I can see the sunrise
3:00It's the 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 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 It's the sunrise
