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
