You Nor I

You nor I 

 

 

Neither You nor I will live to see these wonderful times  

When the world will live without any crimes 

Neither you nor I will live to hear the victory cries 

Of freedom before one of us dies 

Neither you nor I will live to feel the keys to our chains 

Before we reveal the world our pains 

Neither you nor I will live to smell the air of our land 

When we all march southward hand in hand 

Neither you nor I will live to taste the cold bitter tears 

Of those who mourned our pains and or fears
