Charles Lloyd, The Marvels + Lucinda Williams - We've Come Too Far to Turn Around lyrics

We are weary of these trials
Of tribulations we are tired
But we have come to far to turn around
From the city of Atlanta
To Birmingham, Alabama
We have come to far to turn around
We are here to bear witness
To this monstrous sickness
We have come to far to turn around

We have stared into the eyes of evil
We have slow danced with the devil
We have sat down at his table
And shared with him in the feast
We have swallowed the liquid of his lies
Tolerated the one we despise
Been led astray by his disguise
Fooled by his beliefs

We've been victims of his wrath
We've wavered from the path
But we have come to far to turn around
We will lay down burden
Of hate and separation
'Cause we have come to far to turn around
For over four hundred years
We've been on this trail of tears
We have come to far to turn around

We have stared into the eyes of evil
We have slow danced with the devil
We have sat down at his table
And shared with him in the feast
We have swallowed the liquid of his lies
Tolerated the one we despise
Been led astray by his disguise
Fooled by his beliefs

We are weary of these trials
Of tribulations we are tired
But we have come to far to turn around
