Lyrics
1965 Selma still couldnt vote Beaten bruised and weary, they never gave up hope Fueled by injustice and a tragic recent death They marched with pride, and a fire inside, and put courage to the test After a lightning strike There is a long thunder roll It may be one quick snap But it echoes through your soul Maybe the answers come After those shakes unfold After a lightning strike There is a long thunder roll The sheriff came to meet them on that bridge in early March Billy clubs and tear gas they used with ruthless hearts But reporters shared the story and the nation finally saw So thousands came to join them and to answer Martins call After a lightning strike There is a long thunder roll It may be one quick snap But it echoes through your soul Maybe the answers come After those shakes unfold After a lightning strike There is a long thunder roll Thunder roll Now they marched to Montgomery and they got the right to vote And Dr. King composed sermons like no other man ever wrote And they led this great nation back towards moral truth And proved to the world Gandhi wasnt just a fluke Yeah when the lightning strikes And we feel the thunder roll We may be quick to snap But the echoes in our souls Tell us the answers come When love and truth are told Like a great lightning strike With a long thunder roll
