I like my rocking chair listening to the wind get past the trees used to spend my time marching now I spend it on my knees The Lord knows me by now my devotion I have showed From Selma to Montgomery is a mighty long road Too young to be scared thought there was no more to see what I read about happening to others could never happen to me I was marching in Marion February of 65 Saw them shoot Jimmy Lee with my very own eyes chorus: From Selma to Montgomery was a road paved with tears and the broken chains of those who could not appear You say where does the time go? check the clock on my wall From Selma to Montgomery Songtexteit never stood still at all Today I cross the Pettus bridge and I often wonder why hatred is only noticed when innocent people die I think about how far we've come and the road still left ahead from Selma to Montgomery and all those people dead chorus I like my rocking chair listening to the wind get past the trees used to spend my time marching now I spend it on my knees The Lord knows me by now my devotion I have showed From Selma to Montgomery is a mighty long road Aus Songtexte Mania
