1
When I was young you said to me
2
How I would grow to find
3
A world of hope and wonder
4
That you would leave behind
5
So now I look around me
6
I see where you were wrong
7
The tears that flow for equal rights
8
Have fallen far too long
9
Way down south in the township
10
Way down south in the plain
11
Does the sun still rise on the land of lies
12
Every day in fear, every day in shame
13
And I was told no man was judged
14
By color or by creed
15
So why do some have streets of gold
16
While others only need
17
No, you cannot tell me
18
There is pride in fearing pain
19
A nation born in a country torn
20
I know the rightful claim
21
Way down south in the township
22
Way down south in the plain
23
Does the sun still rise on the land of lies
24
Every day in fear, every day in shame
25
Take away the newsreel
26
And take the world to task
27
One man one vote as nations quote
28
Is that too much to ask
29
And now I look around me
30
I see where you were wrong
31
The tears that flow for equal rights
32
Have fallen far too long
33
Way down south in the township
34
Way down south in the plain
35
Does the sun still rise on the land of lies
36
Every day in fear, every day in shame
