Too Far To Be Gone Performed by Shemekia Copeland A small thing like a seat on the bus Changed life for the rest of us A tiny woman that you never met Put us on the road but we ain't there yet Her brave soul is long gone But her spirit's marchin' on We done come too far to be gone Come too far to be gone If you think we're stopping you got it wrong We come too far to be gone Hand in hand yours and mine It's god's love on the line Now we're miles from our first steps 'Bout as tired as you can get But as sure as day turns to night We'll keep movin' till we make it right Saw you in Selma and in Birmingham Marching together to glory land Standin' proud, never stumbled All through the daily struggle Making good trouble Just to keep on movin' on Thought we were silenced at the Lorraine But that voice didn't die in vain It's echo rings like no other For every sister and every brother Though many are gone their spirits still scream You can kill a man but not a dream We done come too far to be gone Come too far to be gone If you think we're stopping you got it wrong We come too far to be gone Done come too far to be gone We come too far to be gone If you think we're stopping you got it wrong We come too far Way too far Too far to be gone
