Song lyrics, The Dock of the Bay (1968)
“Roll, years of promise, rapidly roll round,
Till not a slave shall on this earth be found.”
Poem
Context: Who but shall learn that freedom is the prize
Man still is bound to rescue or maintain;
That nature's God commands the slave to rise,
And on the oppressor's head to break the chain.
Roll, years of promise, rapidly roll round,
Till not a slave shall on this earth be found.
