BELFAST NOVELS
©, 2002, Willie McCulloch/Alex O'Brien
V1 Who's gonna write the story, of broken homes and fear?
Who's gonna write the novel, of broken bones and tears?
Who's gonna write the poem, of children in the streets?
Who's gonna write the play, of children starved or beat?
Who's gonna write the music, that soothes the savage soul?
Who's gonna write the melody, that turns all hearts to gold?
Who's gonna write the lyrics? Can such a heart be found?
Or will the magic letters be buried in the ground?
CH Belfast novels
No time to write?
Children pick up rocks and guns,
No pens they must fight,
Belfast novels
Torn pages soaked in blood?
Lying in a million pieces,
in explosive mud?

V1 Who's gonna paint the picture, that makes everything so clear?
Who's gonna mix the colors, that grow smiles out of tears?
Who's gonna mold the statue, to lead peace to the land?
Who's gonna dance the ballet, that makes us understand?
A friend of mine did tell me, that words can't change the world,
It hurt me very deeply I saw my life unfurl
Every single letter, and every single word
Can ring out with heart and passion?
So sing out and be heard?

CH Belfast novels
No time to write?
Children pick up rocks and guns,
No pens they must fight,
Belfast novels
Torn pages soaked in blood,
Lying in a million pieces?
in explosive mud?
CH Belfast novels
No time to write?
Children pick up rocks and guns,
No pens they must fight,
Belfast novels
Torn pages soaked in blood,
Lying in a million pieces?
in explosive mud?
