Lyrics

My Feet Are Tired
© Jon Fromer & Bernard Gilbert

Chorus:
My feet are tired
My feet are tired
My feet are tired
But my soul is rested

1955, that's a lifetime ago
Remember "l like Ike"? Remember Jim Crow?
On a bus in Montgomery, southern town
That woman started something when she sat down

Chorus

Thousands walked to work in the morning light
Thousands walked home through the rain at night
Every day for a week, every week for a month
It took more than a year before it was done

Chorus

If you had been there, you could have heard people say
"I always hoped my kids would see a better day"
Lately I must say I've changed my mind
I want to see freedom in my time

Chorus
