這是 1970-1971 年度,公理書院中學五年級理科組的班歌。我是班上其中一
份子。這歌在1971 年的班際歌唱比賽之中得到了冠軍。在我的記憶之中,
這恐怕是公理書院最早的一次歌唱比賽。

這首歌的歌詞由那幾位同學填詞,我已經不能肯定。相信 龐宛穎是其中一
位。幾十年後再看歌詞,真覺不幸,想不到裏面的內容到了今時今日竟然
一點都沒有失去其意義。我們自己也正好看看,當年我們所控訴的,我們
有沒有低頭,有沒有隨波逐流。

這首歌詞用了兩首現代英文民謠的歌譜。都是由美國著名民謠女歌手 JONI
MITCHELL 所作。其一是 Both sides now. 另外一首歌就是 Circle game. 後者
當年由陳美齡 (Agnes Chan) 小姐唱到街知巷聞。

我曾將這歌詞放到 1978 年 公理書院第一次在校外舉行的音樂會的場刊裏。
幸好如此,否則可能已經散失!

年青的歌

Violence, hatred everywhere.
And people suffer here and there.
Poor and sick, nowhere to share.
So what's this world lack of?
People think of only gold.
Forget their friends and sell their soul.
No more love in this whole wide
world.
So what is their aim of life?

I'll look at clouds
from both sides now
From up and down
And still some how.
It's cloud's illusion I recall.
I really don't know
what (where) at all.
And the answers,
refer to you and me.
All the answers, depend on you
and me.
So wake up all, and listen to these
words.
With love (aim) and peace (faith),
We'll find our way.
And success is overhead.
And, we'll fight with love.
And fight for the coming days.
And we'll march and march into
victory.

Youngsters don't know
what's their goal.
They feel the world
is turning cold.
Parents friends misunderstood.
then where can they find their hope?
so, youth now are always troublesome.
They join in protest one by one.
So many things they have had done.
but, what they really won?
