Lyrics:

[English]

Belfast

Got to have a belief in

Got to have a belief in all the people

'Cause the people are leavin'

When the people believe in

When the people believe in all the children

'Cause the children are leavin'

Belfast

When the country rings the leaving bell you're lost

Belfast

When the hate you have

For one another's past

You can try (You can try)

You can try

To tell the world the reason why

Belfast

It's a country that's changin'

Oh, it's a country that's changin'

It's a country that's changin' all the people

'Cause the people are leavin'

It's the world that's deceivin'

Oh it's the world that's deceivin'

It's the world that's deceivin' all the people

'Cause the people believe in

Belfast

When the country rings the leaving bell you're lost

Belfast

When the hate you have

For one another's past

You can try (You can try)

You can try

To tell the world the reason why

Belfast

When the children believe in

When the children believe in all the people

'Cause the people are leavin'

When the people are leavin' you

When the people are leavin'

When the people are leavin' all the children

'Cause the children believe in

Belfast

When the country rings the leaving bell you're lost

Belfast

When the hate you have

For one another's past

You can try (You can try)

You can try

To tell the world the reason why
