[Intro]
G
[Verse]
They wouldn't hear your Cmusic
And they Dpulled your paintings down
They Gwouldn't read your Cwriting
And they Dbanned you from the Gtown
[Verse]
But they couldn't stop you Cdreaming
And a Dvictory you've won
For you Gsowed the seeds of Cfreedom
In your Ddaughters and your Gsons
[Chorus]
In your Ddaughters and your sons
In your Gdaughters and your Dsons
You Gsowed the seeds of Cfreedom
In your Ddaughters and your GsonsC  
[Verse]
Your Gweary smile it Cproudly hides
The Dchain marks on your hands
GWhen you strive to Crealise
The Drights of everGyone
[Verse]
And though your body's Cbent and low
A Dvictory you've won
For you Gsowed the seeds of Cjustice
In your Ddaughters and your Gsons
[Chorus]
In your Ddaughters and your sons
In your Gdaughters and your Dsons
You Gsowed the seeds of Cjustice
In your Ddaughters and your GsonsC  
[Verse]
Well, I Gdon't know your reCligion
But one Dday I heard you pray
For a Gworld where everyCone can work
And Dchildren they can Gplay
[Verse]
Though you never had your Cshare
Of the Dfruits that you have won
You Gsowed the seeds of eCquality
In your Ddaughters and your Gsons
[Chorus]
In your Ddaughters and your sons
In your Gdaughters and your Dsons
You Gsowed the seeds of eCquality
In your Ddaughters and your GsonsC  
[Verse]
Well, they Gtaunted you in CBelfast
And they Dtortured you in Spain
And Gin that Warsaw Cghetto
Where they Dtied you up in Gchains
[Verse]
In Vietnam and in CChile
Where they Dcame with tanks and guns
It's Gthere you sowed the Cseeds of peace
In your Ddaughters and your Gsons
[Chorus]
In your Ddaughters and your sons
In your Gdaughters and your Dsons
It's Gthere you sowed the Cseeds of peace
In your Ddaughters and your GsonsC  
[Verse]
And Gnow the music's Cplaying
And the Dwriting's on the wall
And Gall the dreams you Cpainted
Can be Dseen by one and Gall
[Verse]
And now you've got them Cthinking
And the Dfuture's just begun
For you Gsowed the seeds of Cfreedom
In your Ddaughters and your Gsons
[Chorus]
In your Ddaughters and your sons
In your Gdaughters and your Dsons
You Gsowed the seeds of Cfreedom
In your Ddaughters and your Gsons
[Chorus]
In your Ddaughters and your sons
In your Gdaughters and your Dsons
You Gsowed the seeds of Cfreedom
In your Ddaughters and your Gsons
