Lyrics Jackson C. Frank – Don’t Look Back

Don’t look back over your shoulder
Keep your eye on freedom’s 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’s shore
Yeah, ’cause you know the brave men with you
Also pay the wages of war

Hey 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’s 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
Yeah tear ’em down and write ’em over
Before you find it’s just too late

So don’t look back over your shoulder
Keep your eye on freedom’s shore
‘Cause you know the brave men with you
Also pay the wages of war
