Sunrise Letra

Oh what a special child

To see such things and still to smile

I knew that there was something wrong

But I kept my head down and carried on



I grew up in Enniskillen

I grew up in Innis Kathleen too

Oh what a clever boy

To watch your hometown be destroyed

I knew that I 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 sunrising
