歌词
Death unfolds before my eyes
A frightened man's unheeded cries
People, oh, people, trapped beneath the knee
Of the law gone wrong and the force of history
♪
Another too soon laid to rest
Some folks weep, some beat their chests
People, oh, people, let us stand on freedom's side
For there can be no peace wherever justice is denied
♪
As cities burn in summer heat
Temptation bids us to retreat
People, my people, there is no other way
To love, except to turn our timid souls toward the fray
♪
There is no other way
To love, except to turn our timid souls toward the fray
