Let the dawning day come
Let the dark clouds go
And let the sunshine throw
Into your heart,
A penetrating beam of hope
Permeating the dark crevices of despair and discouragement,
Created by vain longings for freedom and parity:
Freedom from stanchions imposed by archaic reasoning
Liberty from the shackles clasped by skin colour;
Let the dawning day come
Let the dark clouds go
And let sunlight scorch to death
All seeds of prejudice and hatred
Dibbled into the earth by subjugation and atomic war:
Wars caused by man’s manipulation of fellow humans to his ends
Prejudice instigated through the doomed seeds of superiority
Planted in young fertile hearts.
Oh! Let the dawning day dawn
Let the dark clouds go
And let the new day come
With its new of hope for all deprived.
