Summary
This song says there is a storm of change blowing through the world, which will unseat the rogues in power. No more will our young men go to war on a braggart's whim, nor our children mourn them, nor broken families abroad curse us. Black and white marrying each other will bring the master's gallows down. The song ends with a rallying cry for peace, freedom and equality.
