Lyrics

I Wonder
Gary Ward
We march to the beat of the ones before us,
Abraham Martin and John (you see we're) and me
Wondering if you realize what you're doin
You try take us back to yesterday
when the boys and the girls they couldn't play
In the same way, at the same place, the same time

We call for the start of a revolution
marched in the blood of a generation calling Freedom,..justice
stumblin thru war and (intimidation) segregation
You tried to take us back to yesterday
when the color of your skin meant you stay away
rebels fight so hero's might rise up

Yeah, we better look around at the thunder
cause the world we want is lost in plunder
I lay my head (heart) down on the road, and I wonder
Will we ever get our free at last, if we always have to change (lie about) the past
You ain't gettin by me this time,
you don't get to call my life a crime

(Verse)
We marched in the shadow of a final solution
washed in the blood of a generation callin..
Freedom,...Callin for Justice,...
Can't fake the past its history
open your eyes it can set you free, it's not just us who need justice

(Chorus)
Yeah, we better look around at the thunder
cause the world we know is lost in plunder
I lay my head (heart) down on the road, and I wonder
Will we ever get our free at last, if we always have to change (lie about) the past
You ain't gettin by me this time,
you don't get to call my life a crime
(Solo over verse changes)
(Chorus out)2x

(Extra Lyrics)
If you had to be my sister and brother
won't we learn to love each other hand in hand and standing side by side
Don't take us back to yesterday, when the bigots and haters ruled the day
rebels may fight but hero's will rise up
