In the [G] battered [D] streets of [G] Belfast
You can hear the [D] people [G] cry For [C] justice [D] long [G] denied [Em] them And their [C] cry will [Am] fill the [D] sky But the [G] winds of [D] change are [G] blowing Bringing hope from [D] dark [G] despair A [C] new [D] day is [G] dawn[Em]ing You can [C] feel it [D] in the [G] air. [chorus] The winds are singing freedom They sing it everywhere They sing it on the mountainside And in the city square They sing of a new day dawning When our people shall be free Come and join the song of freedom Let it ring from sea to sea. Too long our people suffered In misery and tears And foreign rulers used our land For about eight hundred years It's a long road has no turning And I know that soon will be A day of justice dawning When our people shall be free. There's a time laid out for laughing And there's a time laid aout to weep There's a time laid out for sowing And a time laid out to reap There's a time to love your brother There's a time for hate to cease If you sow the seeds of justice Then you'll reap the fruits of peace. |
