"Slovak Film Institute presents" "THE TIME WE LIVE" "THE TIME WE LIVE" "EDITED BY" "EXECUTIVE PRODUCER" "PLAYED BY THE BIGBEAT ENSEMBLE PRÚDY" "STORY AND SCREEN" "SCRIPT EDITOR" "MADE BY" "The film contains commentaries of Zdenek Fierlinger, Pavel Kohout," "Anton Hykisch, Roman Kaliský, Professor Eduard Goldstücker," "Doctor Gustáv Husák, Professor Viktor Pavlenda, Doctor Eugen Löbl," "Ladislav Novomeský, Marie Švermová, Doctor Dano Okáli," "Ladislav Holdoš, Lída Clementisová, farmers from Orava region, university students, miners from Ostrava, workers from Metal Works in Košice, in CKD Prague, and from Metal Works in Podbrezová." "It can't be one person but a small group that did not allow to build socialism as we imagined." "The people who made direct decisions." "I didn't like, and I would condemn when our top representatives, whoever it was, had higher standard of living than capitalists themselves." "Novotný and some from the CC of the Communist Party are to blame." "I think one person is responsible." "As the first Party secretary, Novotný managed the politics." "Being self-critical, let's start from ourselves." "We could have done it better, moreover in the highest positions." "Decisions were made there, so were the most serious mistakes." "That is the problem." "People like Dubcek in the whole country as his intentions were good, and he cannot be blamed for that." "Zdenek Fierlinger, diplomat and politician I was happy and excited when I heard the Slovak comrades to speak at the Central Committee so nicely about both our nations to become closer economically, culturally, and emotionally." "In the CC we won due to their dynamic resoluteness because we, the Czechs, were not strong enough since the whole CC had been supplemented of one man's will for ten - fifteen years." "As a Party member, I also feel responsible for what has happened." "As a revolutionary party we should have acted as revolutionaries." "We shouldn't have been quiet if we didn't like something but should've opened our mouths to be heard publicly." "As we have done nothing we are equally responsible." "We can't say:" "We have nothing to do with it, those in the top are to blame." "Somebody is responsible, perhaps particular people or groups." "I don't know if the guilty ones are our leaders or somebody else but they must be punished." "The former prisoners can cope with it but the executed ones, like Slánský, who will never be back... the wrongdoings cannot be undone." "Their authors must be punished." "I thought something was wrong here." "I talked to comrade Zápotocký about increasing problems but when we wanted to find the causes it was like hitting against rubber walls." "I think all of us are to blame." "It was bad you couldn't have said what you thought and felt." "Sometimes, I was quiet because I have a family and don't want to be accused of criticism after two or three months and then disposed of." "Being led, ordinary members had a better position than officials." "You pay membership contributions and then you are laughed at:" "You, the communists, are to blame." "In fact, we are not." "We criticised bad procedures, didn't we?" "We would do so in the meetings but we were given orders." "Ironically, it got us when we were said in the Central Committee that it was up to the branch organisations to settle our affairs." "It was like a boomerang." "We passed it to them, they did to us." "So the workers would be glad if those up solved the problems to know whom we follow, who our leader is." "We don't need only to nod our heads but want a clear answer..." "Dubcek is not bad at all." "Zdenek Fierlinger, diplomat and politician The Slovak nation is sensitive, emotional." "They felt all the evil was coming from the Prague centre, though both the Czechs and Slovaks were there, both parties equally dogmatic." "In the past years, it seemed that policy of some Central Committee members was against the workers rather than on our behalf." "I am not a Communist Party member, but we all are enthusiastic by this development and give it at least 20 %/ more chances than in the period when our views were not taken into account." "I am now singing a song Just to pass the time." "It's neither a bell's dong Nor a crime." "Old sadness and misery Rain down like mystery," "That is why I am singing this song." "It's time and place for everything, We shall be counting hours." "A clay mound as the only thing shall be the life of hours." "A dense fog of the autumn shall veil the mound," "The end of the life of ours." "For love, people receive reward." "That's true in fairy-tales." "Now cemetery, before hospital ward Magic is lost down in the dales." "The square shout, and the fool moon Will say a prophecy soon" "About the while when magic is lost Down in the dales." "When there are no jokes and laughter My song only shall stay here." "The dead shall stay dead also after Anxiety'lI float in the mere." "Time passes like water in man's face" "So I'm now singing a song to pass the time." "Zdenek Fierlinger, diplomat and politician We were preparing Košice Government Programme in a circle of comrades in Moscow." "It was based on emancipation of both the Slovaks and the Czechs." "It should've purged the public life from collaborationists and traitors." "When working out the Programme, I used to emphasise the importance of the economic factor because emancipation of both nations takes economic balance for granted, and that was quite difficult." "Pavel Kohout, writer I feel that it really was a breach of essential agreement of both nations given by the common fight against fascism, expressed in the Košice Programme." "If you asked me who had caused the problem or had been guilty, I should say people like me who were not politicians" " as I am not a professional politician - but we automatically thought the Košice Government Programme was being carried out." "It was not." "And that could've had tragic consequences for the country." "In the Slovak National Uprising of 1944," "Anton Hykisch, writer our Slovak nation voluntarily decided to live in the common union with the Czech nation." "In a new, rebuilt republic the Slovaks were not pressurised, they could have acted differently." "Yet they voluntarily waived part of their sovereignty in favour of the common state." "We must go as back as there." "Not only back to the Košice Government Programme..." "Eduard Goldstücker, journalist and diplomat When one doesn't feel free enough in partnership, any argumentation and discussion is useless, his or her viewpoint should be taken into account and arranged accordingly." "The issue of Slovakia is also Czechoslovak because a good coexistence of both nations is important for the existence of Czechoslovakia itself." "We paid for unsettled relations in the past, therefore the problem of Slovakia and of her cultural and economic independence must be solved soon." "A stable coexistence is important for existence of Czechoslovakia." "Here all of us - whether it be a Czech or a Slovak..." "There are Slovaks here, and we are on friendly terms." "We are workers, contradictions can only be among those at the top." "Pavel Kohout, writer The Slovaks must have the right to organise their own issues as best as possible for themselves." "In any case, not to throw out the baby with the bath water." "I have a feeling both nations need and complement each other." "As extreme situations have extreme consequences, we should agree it will be a union of clever and honest Czechs and Slovaks against stupid and dishonest Slovaks and Czechs." "As a miner I don't care if my digger is Czech or Slovak." "If he is a Slovak who digs well, he is a good man, a friend, and we go for a pint together." "And vice versa. lf l was his assistant and if I didn't work properly, he wouldn't scold me for being the Czech or Slovak, but for being a slob." "That is how the problem might come to a pretty pass." "I am for the federal system of our socialist republic." "With all the competence for Slovakia, and with a body of envoys in the Czech lands, with one central government to manage all-state affairs." "Anton Hykisch, writer Our post-war constitutional development is a mixture of compromises, concessions, etc." "Twenty-three years' experience showed the asymmetric model failed, it was not dignified." "We are not a younger brother but an equal nation in this part of Europe, and have the right to do hard thinking about our resolutions." "Viktor Pavlenda, economist On the one hand, we mentioned even trifle economic activities in Slovakia in the press or on the radio." "More important ones in the Czech lands were little known." "It must have affected the Czechs, they could have thought all the resources were transferred to Slovakia, therefore they paid for Slovakia." "And the Slovaks, living in their reality, experienced the fact of insufficient, not very effective development of the Slovak economy." "So we mutually influenced our thinking in a negative way, to the detriment of the whole Czechoslovak community." "Eduard Goldstücker, journalist, diplomat When the economic and political relations are settled politically and constitutionally, we shall get rid of psychological barriers too." "Yet, we must not arouse anti-Slovak moods in the Czech lands." "We, the Slovaks, must struggle" "Roman Kaliský, writer for democracy among ourselves in the process of solving the ethnic issue in order to get such a political representation that will be a competent and dignified political partner to the Czech one." "So that nobody could use a negative example in the future that each nation has such a government as it deserves." "It is time to deal with the issues of the democratic reconstruction, and hopefully nobody doubts that when equality is mentioned in Slovakia, it means federation and that means to put the issue" "Gustáv Husák, politician, Deputy Prime Minister through our constitution." "To the best of my knowledge, the political leaders are of the same opinion as the nation so there is no doubt of it." "We hope to get the things moving this year." "If not, there will be other chances to think how... to let the people's views known." "Here, questions about the flag and the national coat of arms." "I only can say my opinion." "I don't like the Slovak part of the coat of arms, it looks like... camp-fire under the Kriván hill." "We shall have to discuss whether to keep the traditional coat the old people are used to," "or have a new one." "I think national coats of arms are rooted in people's conscience, they shouldn't be replaced recklessly, it's not easy to adapt." "I have just received this..." "That is all about the coat and the constitution, anybody can say his or her opinion." "As for the Slovak flag, it somehow disappeared from our lives, but we needn't feel ashamed of having it." "During the Slovak National Uprising we lacked Czechoslovak flags, so the Slovak ones were used not because of some resistance to the Czechoslovak flags but it was natural, as the Slovak flag is, and to 1950s it had been, part of this nation's life." "An empty chaisse shall come down" "And will carry me back, back home." "An empty chaisse shall come down" "And will carry me back, back home." "One day beyond the Jordan I watched the world" "And will carry me back, back home." "A choir of angels Came down to the world d will carry me back, back home." "You may also know a shorter way" "And will carry me back, back home." "tell all known and unknown About the day" "And will carry me back, back home." "An empty chaisse shall come down" "And will carry me back, back home." "An empty chaisse shall come down" "And will carry me back, back home." "Viliam Široký, Government and Party Official, relieved in 1965 The past 5 years in Czechoslovakia recorded a historic development." "Cheerful, creative work is seen in all fields, in all parts of Slovakia." "Constructive enthusiasm has swept people from all walks of life." "Slovakia has been experiencing a dramatic process of transformation, the more tangible the more backward her economy was a short time ago." "Our village of Huty is so backward that it is said to be god-forsaken." "We still have enough property but must leave." "About 70 families have left so far because we must get up at three a.m. to catch the train." "We live hard lives here." "Despite living so high up in the mountains, delivery targets were high, and that was a nightmare." "We had to earn outside, a week or a month away." "It was a bad life." "The young do not want to work as we, the old ones, used to." "We could not vindicate our truth, I don't know who was the brake." "We are humans, and as such we are more valuable than the stones." "People were leaving the Turiec region." "We, aged persons, have stayed in the fields that would feed us." "Before, we used to set out into the wide world with backpacks." "After the World War we were ruined due to delivery targets." "The land here is unprofitable but delivery targets were high." "Who owned over two hectares, he was paid only half the family allowances, and who had fewer, he was paid the total amount." "Then everybody wanted to get rid of his field over two hectares." "That is why young ones left." "We shall finish our days here." "We were born here, where to go now?" "We used to work in the forest." "In the daytime in the forest, during evenings in the house." "I was reproached for being a kulak working also for myself but they didn't see I worked like a dray horse, sixteen, not eight hours a day." "Eight at home, eight in the forest, that was not allowed." "People ran away from their own properties." "It was not fair we had to buy the difference in the delivery target." "We were oppressed by taxes." "Yield from good soil was 1,750 crowns and we were ordered the same amount." "When we couldn't do our duties, we had to buy and pay extra." "Viktor Pavlenda, economist I thought about the socio-economic development in Slovakia hitherto from the viewpoint of Lenin's thesis to oversalt rather than to undersalt." "Concessions to the small, formerly oppressed nation." "As for our food, it was not oversalted." "On the contrary, it was dietary." "Both to the detriment of all eating from the national dish and to the detriment of our community's bowl as a whole." "Viliam Široký, Government and Party Official, relieved in 1965 Our young ones are active." "They organize socialist competitions." "The Czechoslovak Union of Youth understands its great mission and the young generation builds monuments of their work and is enthusiastic in building socialism in our country." "Gustáv Husák, politician, Deputy Prime Minister Both in Slovakia and in the Czech lands progressive ideas, expressed in Bratislava Conference in 1964, had to mature." "They penetrated to the press, among students and intellectuals in factories, and finally rose to today's movement." "Many comrades said:" "You had your Uprising but what are you offering us today?" "I could offer nothing but to try to speak the truth." "The great change is that today, and hopefully also for the future, this generation is getting a splendid opportunity we didn't have in the Uprising or when we began to build this state." "You must be prepared both politically and professionally, as the scope given by the present democratic process is a chance for the young ones, especially for those educated in economy, politics, etc." "We proudly avow our support to your message since we know that without the Communist Party our parents and we would not live so well, would not have so much bread and good cakes, and we would not feel so well at school." "We promise also on behalf of other pupils that we and our parents shall keep the resolution of today's Congress to secure welfare and peace in our country." "Long live the warrior for freedom and happiness of children, Stalin!" "Gustáv Husák, politician, Deputy Prime Minister Here is a question..." "it is a matter of trust:" "Doctor Husák, will you not deceive us?" "The Communist Party sometimes comes with new trends but we have always been deceived." "We may say it in the following way:" "Whether it be young or aged people we trust nobody in advance." "We shall listen to what people say, observe their actions, compare them with our brains and conscience, control everybody who wants to be active in the political life." "I ask you to control my actions in the same critical way." "After some time, you can judge if I was honest or - as you say - deceived you." "Promises are useless." "With knowledge of the past years, regardless my position, I would try to solve the issues honestly and reasonably, discuss with people... and respect their opinions." "Roman Kaliský, writer President Novotný's speech in Slovakia caused a commotion." "The reasons were understandable and have not be forgotten so far because from the status of the highest authority" "he harshly accentuated that although criticism of bourgeois nationalism at ix Communist Party Congress" "was correct, there was little evidence, and in some details it was not quite justified." "In Slovakia there arose doubts about backsliding." "Zdenek Fierlinger, diplomat and politician Finally, the tension culminated in a natural way." "Above all, after unfair Novotný's comments offending dignity and pride of the Slovaks, he again began to rouse against the so called Slovak nationalism." "He wanted to remove..." "Dubcek from his office." "As the Slovak Communist Party is autonomous, it was not natural." "resignation OF president NOVOTNÝ" "I'lI build a wall, I'll build a dike A watchtower is not enough." "I'll build a wall for those who like To be resistant and tough." "We shall follow the trails of fear Leading to nowhere" "Covered with dust The trails are not clear" "I'll build a wall... I don't like rush and I hate stampede I don't like to be blame." "I hate all those who impede." "spleen is not my old flame." "I cannot run in the wind's gust And ever stop." "I don't always want to hide in dust." "I'll build a wall..." "People can be persuaded by time To stop to fear and worry" "Yet time brings fear worth a dime I cannot wait, I am sorry." "There where dust swirls in light Where trails fade out in darkness" "On the road covered by fright" "I'll build a wall... 28.3.1968:" "Acquitting court with politicians and soldiers." "As amended by resolution of Supreme Court Presidium, the charge from Regional Court in Prague is to be investigated now." "Both their judgement and that of Regional Court in Bratislava of 25 March 1959, number 1-5-23-58, were quashed." "Doctor Karvaš, doctor Sinay, engineer Koromzay, engineer Kovác, Marko, Malár, Gold," "Cechura and Petrák had been charged in it with high treason, subject to the article 78, section 2 part A (1) of Penal Code of 1950 as amended." "They had been sentenced to imprisonment." "The Regional Court in Bratislava was ordered to hear the case again in the necessary extent and to make a decision." "Mjr." "Z. Gold, participant of the international resistance movement As for the case old almost twenty years, which was reopened nine years ago, it is true we conspired," "or better, agreed about using the last chance to fight against wrongs in prison of Mírov." "Our families had failed to intercede for us with higher government and political authorities, so we either had to stay passive but that was foreign to our nature, or to use the last chance and send a secret message to be published" "in order to let the people know about our destiny." "We were forced to do so also due to the situation in Mírov, where we were threatened with death." "As former soldiers, we didn't want to be mere willing tools to let ourselves liquidate easily." "Staff Capt. V. Cechura, participant of the resistance movement I was transferred to the district in Bartolomejská Street." "I had to stand facing the wall, and in the evening, Gold and I were transported to prison in Mladá Boleslav." "There are wires and civilian guards with tommy guns, they shout at you, it reminded me of the period of protectorate before I fled to the corps in the East." "Mjr." "Z. Gold, participant of the international resistance movement Welcome at Mírov was dramatic." "I was a commander of a group of about eight members and we were welcomed with beating." "Captain Stiblo... we were interrogated one after one." "Captain Stiblo was so beaten when he answered what his rank was, that he has been deaf." "Or the staff captain Bartušek, a gentle and peaceful man, was also beaten after the same question." "They were beaten even for greetings." "Good morning was not an official greeting, and they were said they didn't deserve the communist greeting." "Eugen Löbl, economist, diplomat I was not tried in the process with a subversive centre as a person, it was a trial against the Czechoslovak way to socialism, and the desire to get to a higher level of development." "I was in prison with one thousand innocent prisoners." "There were priests imprisoned because of their faith, farmers as a deterrent to make others to enter co-operatives, thousands of innocent communist members and non-members..." "As I didn't know the Berijas' methods, I was surprised." "Daniel Okáli, literary scholar, politician On 4 March 1951, many were arrested." "We were blindfolded already in Bratislava and were transported also with handcuffs" "to Ruzyne prison in Prague without being said any reason." "Two days later, on 6 March 1951, we were transported to an unknown place, to a cellar." "I counted 36 stairs leading down." "Surprisingly, I found out it was not a common cellar, it was a stopgap cellar room." "It was thoroughly prepared..." "From my own experience I knew it was a monastery of Kolodeje," "State Security training centre." "Ladislav Novomeský, poet, politician I was not tortured physically, it was a kind of psychical dissection." "We were like dissected poultry rather than human beings." "In such straits we could either to resist bravely as some did... comrade Husák among them, or - as many did - to accept the opinion of the investigators that I was a rogue and everything I had done was vileness." "I agreed." "Moreover, with a concealed smile because I remembered the famous bliss of asylum in Švejk saying it is unwise and dangerous to oppose an insane who claims to be Napoleon, etc." "who claims to be Napoleon, etc." "on my criminal activities, and on meetings and friendship with Clementis were summarized." "I was given a bit of the previous self-assurance." "So they again appealed to my communist beliefs which they had denied me before and did later." "I swotted at it and, to my shame, I was taken to court to reel it off." "I still don't know what is more attractive on such stories." "Whether the method of corrupting people, or their cowardly and timid weakness." "Marie Švermová, politician expelled from the Czechoslovak Communist Party, rehabilitated in 1968" "When I was accused of having tried to eliminate Slánský and Gottwald, I asked them to try any methods to convince themselves I spoke the truth in hope their interrogation would divert to another direction." "Then I realised it was a psychological method" "Daniel Okáli, literary scholar, politician of interrogation: fragmentation of the personality, schizophrenia." "When the remand prisoner loses consciousness of his personality." "It was similar in Kolodeje, man was not allowed to sleep until he psychically collapsed." "Eugen Löbl, economist, diplomat The prisoner was not allowed to sit down." "He had to walk in the cell until he confessed." "Sixteen hours every day with prison food." "Soon, we had bloated feet and suffered when walking." "Whether the suffering will stop or continue, depended on us." "Marie Švermová, politician expelled from the Czechoslovak Communist Party The worst thing was they wanted to make me testify against Slánský in the matter of Ján Šverma's death." "They wanted to force me to accuse him." "I refused." "Gustáv Husák, politician, Deputy Prime Minister At the beginning, I should not have been a witness in the process but accused, instead." "The imprisoned officials were concentrated in it according to their ranks." "Anyway, in the process there were people who were broken in custody and were forced the concept prepared by the Security." "The stronger the resistance the more intensified methods." "If the investigators got somebody where they wanted they were quite decent even in the conditions of prison." "The more you resisted the more rigorous methods were used." "The sole goal was to knock them down." "That is also the answer how I was treated." "Thirty-nine months of my custody was a dog's life." "I know them also as prisoners with the numbers." "Yet, they were of good characters, always held by their opinions." "The human character is best seen in bad situations." "Internal Communist Party issues should've been discussed among themselves, not in public." "If one commits a crime he must be taken to court." "But to the court without people who used to pronounce judgements they had been presented, they didn't look for the truth, the sentence had been on paper." "Who was responsible for all that?" "We want to hear their names." "In order to express our opinions." "To remove the responsible ones from offices." "As for the political processes, I doubt if there is guarantee that they will not become victims as in the 1950s." "Eugen Löbl, economist, diplomat They introduced a system of waking us up every ten minutes." "The prisoner had to stand up and report, e.g.:" "The remand prisoner no 1473 reports one remand prisoner." "Everything is all right." "Then he lay down, and after ten minutes the same again." "After some days, one was so sleepy that he fell asleep no sooner than he lay down, and when he was woken up from heavy sleep so many times it unspeakably excited his... our nervous systems." "There were fake executions... swearing, insults..." "Ladislav Holdoš, politician I was used to hard conditions, I knew the French detention camp in Algeria," "French prisons and camps, the German camp in Buchenwald, so our concentration camp was nothing new for me." "We used to separate fluff from feathers by the same table." "Opposite security colonel Viktor Sedmík, who deserted to the Soviet army in the eastern front, there sat SS colonel, the former secretary of the protectorate minister Moravec, next to us general Kutlvašr, commander of the insurgent Prague in May 1945, to whom" "the German commander of Prague, General Toussaint, chief of staff of Marshal Kesserling's army in Italy, capitulated." "Now they were sitting opposite each other separating fluff." "Marie Švermová, politician expelled from the Czechoslovak Communist Party, rehabilitated in 1968" "During the pre-court hearing I again found myself on the horns of a dilemma." "Will the public process prove the Central Committee a liar?" "Having found out the process was not public, I think they could not afford to have a public trial, I refused the charge." "Eugen Löbl, economist, diplomat As for the treaty with Israel, the process directors needed it to rouse the antisemitic mood." "Actually, the treaty was signed some months after my imprisonment." "I learnt about it in prison two years later." "By the way, the government which discussed and ratified the treaty and thought it was good, was still ruling during the process." "That means they knew what that was about." "As for indemnification for nationalised industries the Americans claimed, when Gottwald addressed me, I said: all right, we must pay but let's apply for a credit from Americans to buy machinery to produce dollars and pay them back." "There were long discussions, ten of millions were at stake, that is not an issue to be dealt at the level of clerks." "Government agreed and let the American government know." "We negotiated with the American delegation in Prague, I was invited to Washington then and sent there by the same government which then gave me a prison sentence." "We should stop polemics." "To stop washing dirty linen." "We all must participate with the aim to live better." "I remember the process with Slánský very well l thoroughly studied the case and I saw the matter differed from the view we had been presented." "It depressed me, I had ideals when I became a CP member." "Lída Clementisová, wife of the Secretary of State Clementis was imprisoned in January 1951, and I a month later." "I spent there two years and got out after Vlado's death." "I had no idea about the process." "They claimed he had fled to Yugoslavia." "They were cruel. I was in a dark cell twice, a hard bed, fast..." "Hunger strike was the most common method but..." "Due to the stone wet floor I had frostbites." "We walked on it all the year round and had to scrub it every day." "One day the warden of the Ruzyne prison, Doubek, told me Vlado had a death sentence and was going to be executed." "It was on 3rd of December." "He asked me if I wanted the last visit." "Of course, I agreed." "I was made pretty, was given civil clothes," "Vlado shouldn't have seen how terribly I looked." "I was given sunray treatment and transported to Pankrác prison." "A thick rail was dividing us," "we could not shake hands." "Vlado scolded them saying if he had known the conditions were so inhuman he wouldn't have agreed to see me behind double bars." "We said good-bye to each other and I was transported back, got stripes and scrubbed the floor all night." "I heard planes. I thought Vlado was being transferred." "That was my illusion." "For three years, I hadn't believed Vlado was dead." "At the end of a white house There lived Yan," "Who wants flowers soft like a blouse From the young Yan?" "Sadness, fastened like a tie Was there with Yan" "By the window crept Truth and Lie Who could choose now was Yan." "He could have chosen Truth or Lie Our weak Yan." "He could have chosen Truth or Lie A hesitant Yan." "A young, pretty and attractive Lie could see Yan," "An old common and mildewy Truth could see Yan." "The evening is like a loose tie, Now lost is our Yan." "Forever are away the Truth and Lie." "What is left?" "Sadness and Yan." "You are forever lost When you know the Truth and Lie." "You are forever lost As is Yan." "Laughter sounds like dry branches Who knows it?" "Yan." "Laughter sounds like dry branches Now dead is Yan." "Klement Gottwald, politician, President of CSR in 1948 - 1953 We want to solve the crisis democratically and constitutionally." "On the basis of a wide national front representing workers from all walks of life, people from towns and the country." "We propose to replace the resigned ministers in the government with new people" "who are loyal to the original spirit of the national front, how it was being formed in the common struggle against strange intruders and in the victorious national revolution." "... And for all the good." "If you shed tears seeing Wrong done to the poor" "I'Il sing my song for you And for all the good." "If you keep your promise If you keep your word lf you have much courage To improve the world" "If you are not enticed By gifts and by threats" "I'Il sing my song for you And for all the good." "If you are not enticed By gifts and by threats" "I'Il sing my song for you And for all the good."
