[Verse 1]
John Lewis stood on the Pettus Bridge
His life he was ready to give
To break the bonds of tyranny
And live a life with dignity
Six hundred strong
They marched straight into a sea of blue
Trampled by horses, tear-gassed
Billy clubbed, too
But all this and such
Don't amount to much
To a great warrior of love
[Verse 2]
Rachel Corrie, she laid it on the line
When she took her stand for Palestine
The bulldozer rolled
She wouldn't budge
She had her feet planted down deep
In that little ol' thing called love
Though her life ended violently
Her gentle spirit's still walking here with you and me
And she lights up the stars above
That brave, young, warrior of love
[Chorus]
Some still among us soldier on
Some from the flesh now have gone
But they've paved the very road we're traveling on
Our great warriors of love
