Duhks - Your Daughters And Your Sons / Jean's Reel lyrics

They wouldn't hear your music And they tore your paintings down They wouldn't read your writing And they banned you from the town But they couldn't stop you dreaming And a victory you have won For you sowed the seeds of freedom In your daughters and your sons Your weary smile it proudly hides The chain marks on your hands As you bravely strive to realize The rights of everyman 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 In your daughters and your sons Your daughters and your sons You sowed the seeds of justice In your daughters and your sons I don't know your religion But one day I heard you pray For a world where everyone can work And children they can play And though you never got your share Of the victories you have won For you sowed the seeds of equality In your daughters and your sons In your daughters and your sons Your daughters and your sons You sowed the seeds of equality In your daughters and your sons They taunted you in Belfast And they tortured you in Spain And in the Warsaw ghetto Where they tied you up in chains In Vietnam and Chile Where they came with tanks and guns It's there you sowed the seeds of peace In your daughters and your sons In your daughters and your sons Your daughters and your sons There you sowed the seeds of peace In your daughters and your sons Now your music's playing And the writing's on the wall And the dreams that you have painted Can be seen by one and all Now you've got them thinking And the future's just begun Where you sowed the seeds of freedom In your daughters and your sons In your daughters and your sons In your daughters and your sons Sowed the seeds of freedom In your daughters and your sons In your daughters and your sons In your daughters and your sons Sowed the seeds of freedom In your daughters and your sons
