Don't Look Back

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
