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
