Hawks and Eagles

歌詞

As I was walking down the road I met my brother with a heavy load I said to him what have you seen He said to me, "I have a dream" In nineteen sixty, I thought I'd died In Sharpeville's bloody town But I got up and I walked on tall Nobody's goin' to put me down Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves As I walked out along the way I saw my sister bend and pray I said to her why do you kneel She said, "You don't know how I feel" I had a little boy and a little girl I loved to watch them grow But they were butchered on the streets In the blood of Soweto Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves It's '85 and I'm walking still Across the Uitenhaage hill Saw a crowd set off at the dawn of day The soldiers said, "Don't come this way" Then somebody threw a stone As they walked up the track A boy on a bike was the first to fall With a bullet in his back Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves It's been a long, long hard road Three hundred years since settlers strode Into that Southern land Now they rule with an iron hand Low pay, no vote and passbook laws Don't talk back, they say But the hawks and the eagles will fly like doves When the people rise one day Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves Hawks and eagles fly like doves
