Warriors Of Love

[Verse 1]

John Lewis stood on the Pettus Bridge

His life he was ready to give

To break the bonds of tyranny

And live a life with dignity

Six hundred strong

They marched straight into a sea of blue

Trampled by horses, tear-gassed

Billy clubbed, too

But all this and such

Don't amount to much

To a great warrior of love

[Verse 2]

Rachel Corrie, she laid it on the line

When she took her stand for Palestine

The bulldozer rolled

She wouldn't budge

She had her feet planted down deep

In that little ol' thing called love

Though her life ended violently

Her gentle spirit's still walking here with you and me

And she lights up the stars above

That brave, young, warrior of love

[Chorus]

Some still among us soldier on

Some from the flesh now have gone

But they've paved the very road we're traveling on

Our great warriors of love

[Verse 3]

Look around you, you will see

People still building the beloved community

In every corner of this earth

You'll find people in a fix, willing to risk

An early ride in the hearse

Folks who don't bend

We got folks who don't bow

They get right up to Goliath

And shoot their shot somehow

Now it's on us to be worthy of

Our great warriors of love

[Chorus]

Some still among us soldier on

Some from the flesh now have gone

But they've paved the very road we're traveling on

Our great warriors of love

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Oh-oh-oh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh
