[JAMES, spoken]
My son is dead. And the irony of it, that an advocate of Negro equality should have been killed by a Negro. There's only one course with them, a strong hand and a firm policy. 

[WOMAN]
It is fear!

[MAN]
It is fear!

[WOMAN]
It is fear!

[MAN]
It is fear!
Who can enjoy the lovely land
The seventy years

[ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[MAN]
The sun that pours down on the earth
When there is fear in the heart

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Who can walk quietly in the dusk
Where behind the dusk there arе whispers and reckless hands?
Yеs, we fear them
For they are many and we are few
[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
Who can be content when he dares not raise his voice

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
For fear of the whip, the guard, the loss of his house?

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
For fear of the mines and the prisons
And the cell from which there is no return
Yes, we fear them
Though we are many and they are few

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Who can lie peacefully abed
When the dark without window is troubled
By those who hate you for what you are
And what you do?

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
You think you know what it is to fear?
Or to hate?
What is there you have not taken from us
Except hate and fear?
Yes, we fear them
Though we are many and they are few
[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Men are not safe in the streets
Not safe in their houses

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
There are brutal murders

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
Fear!

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Robberies

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
Fear!

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Tonight again a man lies dead

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
Yes, it is fear!

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Yes, it is fear!
[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
Fear of the few for the many

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Fear of the few for the many

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
Fear of the many for the few

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
Fear of the many for the few

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[BLACK ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[WHITE ENSEMBLE]
It is fear!

[BOTH ENSEMBLES]
Fear of the few for the many
Fear of the many for the few
