Lyrics
We are weary of these trials
Of tribulations we are tired
But we have come too far to turn around
From the city of Atlanta
To Birmingham, Alabama
We have come too far to turn around
We are here to bear witness
To this monstrous sickness
But we have come too far to turn around
We have stared into the eyes of evil
We have slow danced with the devil
We have sat down at his table
And shared with him in the feast
We have swallowed the liquid of his lies
Tolerated the one we despise
Been led astray by his disguise
Fooled by his beliefs
We've been the victims of his wrath
We've wavered from the path
But we have come too far to turn around
We will lay down the burden
Of hate and separation
Cause we have come too far to turn around
For over four hundred years
We've been on this trail of tears
We have come too far to turn around
And we have stared into the eyes of evil
We have slow danced with the devil
We have sat down at his table
And shared with him in the feast
We have swallowed the liquid of his lies
Tolerated the one we despise
Been led astray by his disguise
And fooled by his beliefs
We are weary of these trials
Of tribulations we are tired
But we have come too far to turn around
