Deep inside my soul fights a war 
I can't explain, I can't cross over any more 
All I see are dirty faces 
Rain and wire, and common sense in pieces 
But I try to see through Irish eyes 
Belfast 
 
Look outside, summer's lost and gone 
It's a long walk on a street of right and wrong 
In every inch of sadness 
Rocks and tanks go hand in hand with madness 
But I never saw a braver place 
Belfast 
 
And it's sad when they sing, and hollow ears listen 
Of smoking black roses, on the streets of Belfast 
And so say your lovers from under the flowers 
Every foot of this world needs an inch of Belfast 
 
Who's to say on whom heaven smiles 
Our different ways we try hard to recognise 
No more enchanted evenings 
The pubs are closed and all the ghosts are leaving 
But you'll never let them shut you down 
Belfast 
 
The enemy is not at home 
A jealous green streaks down this faulty diamond 
No bloody boots or crucifix 
Can ever hope to split this emerald island 
But I never saw a braver face 
Belfast
