[A] I was walking [E] down the road, I met my brother with a heavy [A] load,
me, I [A] have a dream.
I thought I'd died in Sharpeville's bloody town,
But I got up and I walked on tall, nobody's gonna put me down.
[E] doves, oxen eagles [A] fly like doves,
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles fly [A] like doves.
I saw my sister bend [A] and pray,
why do you kneel?

Hide Lyrics Hint
[A] _ _ _ I was walking [E] down the road, I met my brother with a heavy [A] load,
I said to him, what have you seen?
[E] He said to me, I [A] have a dream.
[E] In 1960 I thought I'd died in Sharpeville's bloody town,
But I got up and I walked on tall, nobody's gonna put me down.
[A] _ Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles [A] fly like doves,
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles fly _ [A] like _ doves.
And I walked on [E] the way, I saw my sister bend [A] and pray,
I said to her, why do you kneel?
[E] She said, you don't know [A] how I feel.
_ [E] I had a little boy and a little girl, I loved to watch them grow,
But they were butchered on the streets, and the blood of so and [A] so.
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles [A] fly like doves,
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles fly _ [A] like doves.
_ In 1985 I'm out walking [E] still, across the [A] Yippondacka Hills,
I saw a crowd, _ [E] a soldier said, don't [A] come this way.
_ [E] Then somebody threw a stone as they walked up the track,
A boy on a bike put the first to fall, with a bullet in his [A] back.
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles [A] fly like doves,
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles fly _ [A] like _ doves.
It's been a long, long [E] hard road, three hundred years since [A] settlers rolled,
Into that southern [E] land, now they're [A] _
_ _ [E] out.
Okay, no fault in passport laws, don't go back they say,
But the oxen eagles don't fly like doves, when the people rise one day.
_ _ [A] _
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles fly [A] like doves,
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles fly _ _ [A]
like doves.
_ Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles [A] fly like doves,
Oxen eagles fly like [E] doves, oxen eagles fly [A] like doves.
_ _ _ [N] _ _
