Song of the South 歌词

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
