I can't believe the news today Oh, I can't close my eyes, and make it go away How long... How long must we sing this song? How long? How long... cause tonight...we can be as one…tonight... Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street But I won't heed the battle call, it puts my back up Puts my back up against the wall Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters,torn apart Sunday, Bloody Sunday How long... How long must we sing this song? How long? How long... cause tonight...we can be as one tonight...tonight...

Wipe the tears from your eyes…Wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away…Oh, wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV reality And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) The real battle just begun To claim the victory Jesus won on... Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday...
