And those who lie just once too often Will find that they can't know the truth That lives among the sisters and brothers Who hand in hand renew the earth

B A E
Let justice roll like a mighty river
B A E
A-moving fast down to the sea
A E
It will erode all our foundations
B A E
Touch every heart and every nation
A E
Let justice roll like a mighty river
B A E
For you and me let justice roll


B A E
And those who live by the rule of power
B A E
Will find their swords turned into plows
A E
And all the rich they shall be humbled
B A E
While all the poor reclaim the earth

And those who lie just once too often
Will find that they can't know the truth
That lives among the sisters and brothers
Who hand in hand renew the earth

And the victims of some blind repression
By those who fear new thoughts and visions
They shall not die and be forgotten
They're a living stream, let justice roll
