Please Come to Atlanta
Lyrics
See our people shot and caged
Mitch has chained us to the wall
Won't you please come to Atlanta just to sing
The King's dream is now within our reach if we rally to the call
Won't you please come to Atlanta for the help that we can bring
We can change the world
Rearrange the world
Keep trying to make it better
Politicians sit yourselves down
Switch on your listening ears
Please come to Savannah hear us say
We know what you been up to
For lo these many years
Come on truck on down to Macon
We can blow it all away
We can change the world
Rearrange the world
Keep trying - if you believe in justice
Trying - if you believe in freedom
Trying - freedom to live our own lives
Trying - nights of fear and loathing, who needs them?
Throw them out the door
Wheel of justice turning slow
Can't you feel that rising tide
Please come on down to Georgia raise your voice
Young and old and rainbow warriors marching side by side
All eyes are on you Georgia
Only you can make this choice
You can change the world
Rearrange the world
Keep trying - if you believe in justice
Trying - if you believe in freedom
Trying - nothing else really matters
Trying - y'all in Georgia are holdin' the golden key
Open up the door
See our people shot and caged
Mitch has chained us to the wall
Won't you please come to Atlanta just to sing
The King's dream is now within our reach if we rally to the call
Won't you please come to Atlanta for the help that we can bring
We can change the world
Rearrange the world
Keep trying to make it better
Politicians sit yourselves down
Switch on your listening ears
Please come to Savannah hear us say
We know what you been up to
For lo these many years
Come on truck on down to Macon
We can blow it all away
We can change the world
Rearrange the world
Keep trying - if you believe in justice
Trying - if you believe in freedom
Trying - freedom to live our own lives
Trying - nights of fear and loathing, who needs them?
Throw them out the door
Wheel of justice turning slow
Can't you feel that rising tide
Please come on down to Georgia raise your voice
Young and old and rainbow warriors marching side by side
All eyes are on you Georgia
Only you can make this choice
You can change the world
Rearrange the world
Keep trying - if you believe in justice
Trying - if you believe in freedom
Trying - nothing else really matters
Trying - y'all in Georgia are holdin' the golden key
Open up the door
