• You’ve got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made, Of people whose skin is a different shade. You’ve got to be carefully taught. You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late, Before you are six or seven or eight, To hate all the people your relatives hate. You’ve got to be carefully taught.

• As you walk through the storm, Hold your head up high, And don’t be afraid of the dark, At the end of the storm, Is a golden sky, And the sweet silver song of the lark, Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Though your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on, With hope in your hearts, And you’ll never walk alone, You’ll never walk alone.
