The Lion Will Lie Down With the Lamb
[Have you taken leave of your senses]
In the vanguard of the fight
Against apartheid
Replace General Motors
And IBM
We have asked free business
To leave South Africa
Put aside the profits
And set the people free then
Because I've seen the day
And it's not far away
When the lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
It's not far away
That wonderful day
I think we'll see the day
When the world's money men
Will lay down their lives at the barricades
In their hands red flags
On that not so distant day
We'll all join together fighting on the same side
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
I see the day
And it's not far away
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
It's not far away
That wonderful day
Come to your senses
Pull out of South Africa
Let the people free their
Like you do in other countries
Throughout history
Business and governments
Have ever been in the forefront
Of the fight for freedom
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
I have seen the day
And it's not far away
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
It's not far away
That wonderful day
The lion will lie down
The lion will lie down
The lion will lie down
The lion will lie down
In the vanguard of the fight
Against apartheid
Replace General Motors
And IBM
We have asked free business
To leave South Africa
Put aside the profits
And set the people free then
Because I've seen the day
And it's not far away
When the lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
It's not far away
That wonderful day
I think we'll see the day
When the world's money men
Will lay down their lives at the barricades
In their hands red flags
On that not so distant day
We'll all join together fighting on the same side
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
I see the day
And it's not far away
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
It's not far away
That wonderful day
Come to your senses
Pull out of South Africa
Let the people free their
Like you do in other countries
Throughout history
Business and governments
Have ever been in the forefront
Of the fight for freedom
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
I have seen the day
And it's not far away
The lion will lie down
At peace beside the lamb
It's not far away
That wonderful day
The lion will lie down
The lion will lie down
The lion will lie down
The lion will lie down
