Don't Look Back

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

So don’t look back over your shoulder

Keep your eye on freedom shore

Yeah, ‘cause you know the brave men with you

Also pay the wages of war

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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
