Your Daughters And Your Sons / Jean's Reel Lyrics - Your Daughters & Your Sons - Duhks

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
