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 Rachel corrie 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 And though her life ended violently Her gentle spirit is still walking here with you and me And she lights up the stars above That brave, young, warrior of love 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 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 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 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
