Just a boy of nineteen.

The shot was short and clean.
Masked men of orange.
Red hand commandos.
Bomb three dead in a pub.
Revenge is all they know.

Sent for milk by her mother.
To be killed at age twelve.
The plastic bullet slays another

Murder for a border line.
Still the feud of ´94.

Hear their cry for peace.
A truce for unity.
The harps and pipes echo.
In Belfast and Derry city.
Once foes now come together.
Racial kinsman are forever
Irish unity,
Christian unity,
Irish unity.
Is white unity.
White unity.
