Sunday Bloody Sunday
by Ba Cissoko

Album: In the Name of Love - Africa Celebrates U2

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,
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.

Sunday, bloody Sunday,
Sunday, bloody Sunday,
Sunday, bloody Sunday,
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Let's go.

And the battle's just begun,
There's many lost, but, tell me, who has won?
The trench's dug within our hearts,
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart.

How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long?
How long?

'Cause tonight we can be as one,
Tonight.

Sunday, bloody Sunday,
Sunday, bloody Sunday,
Sunday, bloody Sunday,
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Wipe your tears away,
Wipe your tears away,
Wipe your tears away.

And today the millions cry; we eat and drink, while tomorrow they die,
The real battle's just begun, to claim the victory that Jesus won on...

Sunday bloody Sunday,
Sunday bloody Sunday,
Sunday bloody Sunday,
Sunday bloody Sunday,
Sunday bloody Sunday,
Sunday bloody Sunday.
