They wouldn't hear your music and your paintings pulled down,
They wouldn't read your writings and they banned you from the town.
But they couldn't stop your thinking and the victory you've won,
For you've sowed the seed of freedom in your daughters and your sons.
In your daughters and your sons, in your daughters and your sons,
And you've sowed the seeds of freedom in your daughters and your sons.
I don't know your religion gut one day I heard you pray,
For a world where every man could work and children they can play.
And so you never had a chair of fruit that you have won
For you've sowed seeds of equality in your daughters and your sons.
In your daughters and your sons, in your daughters and your sons,
And you've sowed seeds of equality in your daughters and your sons.
They taunted you in Belfast and they tortured you in Spain
And in that Warsaw ghettos they tied you up in chains.
And in Iran and Palestine when 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, in your daughters and your sons,
And you've sowed the seeds of peace in your daughters and your sons.
Now your music's playing and the writing's on the wall
And all the dreams you've painted can be seen by one and all.
And now you've got them thinking that the future's just begun
For you've sowed the seeds of justice in your daughters and your sons.
In your daughters and your sons, in your daughters and your sons,
And you've sowed the seeds of justice in your daughters and your sons.
In your daughters and your sons, in your daughters and your sons,
And you've sowed the seeds of freedom in your daughters and your sons.
