[Verse 1]
N.C. G B7
John Lewis stood on the Pettus Bridge
Em A7
His life he was ready to give
Am D
To break the bonds of tyranny
Am D7
And live a life with dignity
G
Six hundred strong
B7
They marched straight into a sea of blue
Em
Trampled by horses, tear-gassed
A7
Billy clubbed, too
Am
But all this and such

Don't amount to much
G C G D7
To a great warrior of love

Rachel Corrie, she laid it on the line
Em A7
When she took her stand for Palestine
Am
The bulldozer rolled
D
She wouldn't budge
Am
She had her feet planted down deep
D7
In that little ol' thing called love
G B7
Though her life ended violently
Em A7
Her gentle spirit's still walking here with you and me
Am D
And she lights up the stars above
G C G
That brave, young, warrior of love
 
[Chorus]
Am D
Some still among us soldier on
Am D
Some from the flesh now have gone
Am D
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
Am D7
You'll find people in a fix, willing to risk
 
An early ride in the hearse
G
Folks who don't bend
B7
We got folks who don't bow
Em
They get right up to Goliath
A7
And shoot their shot somehow
Am D
Now it's on us to be worthy of
G C G
Our great warriors of love
 
[Chorus]
Am D
Some still among us soldier on

Some from the flesh now have gone
