Dark Clouds Don'T Discriminate

Dark Clouds Don't Discriminate                 February 13, 2016
 
Walking together on a Derry Street 
Peace on our mind, no retreat
Young and old walking our dreams
Civil rights for all, how simple it seems
Harassed as we walk on freedoms way
A better life for our people is on the way
United we stand, divided we fall
We remember the day, we remember them all
Brothers and sisters, mothers and dads
Bullets of death in Derry so sad

From a march of peace without goodbye

Fourteen people forced to die
The dark clouds came and brought the rain

Never to walk the small streets again

Dark clouds don't discriminate

Civil rights marchers met their fate

Goodbye each one, some mothers son

Your final journey just begun

Walking together on a Derry street

Peace on our mind, no retreat
