Tom Oprendek

Lyrics

Walkin’ down the tracks in Birmingham
Two steps forward; one step back
Tuxedo Junction, the Firehouse
Civil Rights Square quiet as a mouse
I heard the voices call for justice
To break the chains of circumstance
Heaven and earth can’t move me
Like the way you do
We’ll break the chains of circumstance

It's time to come together, overcome fear's silence
No child lost to hunger, disease or violence


Hurry up little child of mine
Pick up the pace, don’t lag behind
So many things to see and do
How could I ever shelter you?
I heard the voices call for justice
To break the chains of circumstance
Heaven and earth can’t move me
Like the way you do
We’ll break the chains of circumstance


We’ve got a passion that’s so hard to find
Gonna use it to change our lives
Not afraid to take a stand
To break the chains of circumstance
I heard the voices call for justice
To break the chains of circumstance
Heaven and earth can’t move me
Like the way you do
We’ll break the chains of circumstance
