Song Of The South |
| When I was young you said to me |
| How I would grow to find |
| A world of hope and wonder |
| That you would leave behind |
| So now I look around me |
| I see where you were wrong |
| The tears that flow for equal rights |
| Have fallen far too long |
| Way down south in the township |
| Way down south in the plain |
| Does the sun still rise on the land of lies |
| Every day in fear, every day in shame |
| And I was told no man was judged |
| By color or by creed |
| So why do some have streets of gold |
| While others only need |
| No, you cannot tell me |
| There is pride in fearing pain |
| A nation born in a country torn |
| I know the rightful claim |
| Way down south in the township |
| Way down south in the plain |
| Does the sun still rise on the land of lies |
| Every day in fear, every day in shame |
| Take away the newsreel |
| And take the world to task |
| One man one vote as nations quote |
| Is that too much to ask |
| And now I look around me |
| I see where you were wrong |
| The tears that flow for equal rights |
| Have fallen far too long |
| Way down south in the township |
| Way down south in the plain |
| Does the sun still rise on the land of lies |
| Every day in fear, every day in shame |
