Your Daughters and Your Sons 
Your Daughters and Your Sons (Tommy Sands) 
They wouldn't hear your music And they pulled your paintings down They wouldn't read your writing And they banned you from the town But they couldn't stop you dreaming And the victory you have won For you sowed the seeds of freedom In your daughters and your sons
 In your daughters and your sons
 In your daughters and your sons You sowed the seeds of freedom In your daughters and your sons 
Well your weary smile it proudly hides The chain marks on your hands As you bravely strive to realise The rights of every man And though your body's bent and low A victory you have won For you sowed the seeds of justice In your daughters and your sons 
Well, I don't know your religion But one day I heard you pray For a world where everyone can work And children can play And though you never got your share Of the fruits that you have won You sowed the seeds of equality In your daughters and your sons 
Well, they taunted you in Belfast And they tortured you in Spain And in that Warsaw ghetto Where they tied you up in chains In Vietnam and in Chili Where they came with tanks and guns It's there you sowed the seeds of peace In your daughters and your sons 
And now your music's playing And the writings on the wall And all the dreams you painted Can be seen by one and all 
And now you've got them thinking And the future's just begun 
For you sowed the seeds of freedom In your daughters and your sons
