Belfast Child
The streets of the Irish north
Separated by faith
Different religions
In our human race
During the troubles
Through the bullets and bombs
Sectarian violence
Engulfed in their wrongs
Soldiers and factions
In wanton maim
Left this proud country
In blood red stain
Years have passed
As the peace accord lives
No more slaughter
Where life was once sieved
Tomorrow, there after
No more feuding campaigns
For the
Belfast Child, sings again
Inspired by the Simple Minds track " Belfast Child " by an excellent Scottish Rock Group
