Don't look back over your shoulder
Keep your eye on freedom shore
'Cuz you know the brave men with you
Also pay the wages of war.

You can read all about justice
In a million books on war
But there aren't words to bring back Evers
Nor the pay the price that he stood for

So don't look back over your shoulder
Keep your eye on freedom shore
Yeah 'cuz 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
'Cuz 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
Tear them down and write them over
Before you find it's just too late

So don't look back over your shoulder
Keep your eye on freedom shore
Yeah 'cuz you know the brave men with you
Also pay the wages of war.
