| Don’t look back over your shoulder
|
| Keep your eye on freedom’s 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’s shore
|
| Yeah, 'cause you know the brave men with you
|
| Also pay the wages of war
|
| Hey 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’s 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
|
| Yeah tear 'em down and write 'em over
|
| Before you find it’s just too late
|
| So don’t look back over your shoulder
|
| Keep your eye on freedom’s shore
|
| 'Cause you know the brave men with you
|
| Also pay the wages of war |
