[Chorus] Don't look back Over your shoulder Keep your eye on freedom shore ‘Cause you know The brave men with you Also pay the wages of war [Verse 1] You can read all about justice In a million books and more But there aren't words to bring back Evers Nor pay the price that he stood for [Chorus] [Verse 2] Well can't you hear the bells of Selma
Calling out their mournful chimes Just another d**h for justice Another sorrow that's yours and mine [Chorus] [Verse 3] Well there are walls that make a prison Many names that can bring hate You tear ‘em down and ride ‘em over Before you find It's just too late [Chorus/Outro]
