Robin Rogers - Color-Blind Angel lyrics

Chorus: Viola, Viola, you laid your young life down. From Selma to heaven, 3 Ks took you out. Color blind angel battled bigotry. Viola, Viola lives on in history. Verse 1: Left your home in the winterland, southbound with a dream. Edmund Pettis bridge, violence on the screen. Freedom summer of '65 is where you had to be, Stand up for your fellow man, erase hypocrisy. (Chorus) Verse 2: March 25, Alabam, along a lonesome road, Shots rang out on a hate-filled night, now the world would know: Motor City mother, lily-white and sincere, Gave her life for the civil rights, fought against the fear. (Chorus) Verse 3: Walkin' for the right to vote seems old-fashioned now, Martin's vision reigns supreme, all colors can be proud. The legacy of all that fought goes on eternally. Women and men from walks of life live on in history. (Chorus)
