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 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 So 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 Well can't you hear the bells of Selma Calling out their mournful chimes Just another death for justice Another sorrow that's yours and mine So 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 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 So 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
