against the wall and back to me All the other windows have concrete curtains Open up your eyes and tell me what you
see.
The flowers in our garden are made of bricks and broken glass Throw the ball against the wall and back to me And
´round the back we´re growing an outside toilet Open up your eyes and tell me what you see.
Wee Albert Mooney was
blinded by a petrol bomb Throw the ball against the wall and back to me The bomber said, we´re sorry, it must have been
an accident Open up your eyes and tell me what you see.
A big rubber bullet killed little Johnny Morrisey Throw
the ball against the wall and back to me A policeman fired it, it must have been an accident Open up your eyes and tell

God made the world, and Belfast is part of it Throw the ball against the wall and back to me Sometimes
I wonder if Belfast was an accident Open up your eyes and tell me what you see.
There´s a wall, there is, between
us and them, there is Throw the ball against the wall and back to me Is there anyone can tell me that they didn´t help
in building it Open up your eyes and tell me what you see.
But the eyes of the world have concrete curtains Throw
the ball against the wall and back to me Would you tear down the wall, would you open up the windows Would you open
up your eyes and tell me what you see.
