I'll Be Rested
[*Instrumental intro with bell:] I'll be rested when the roll is called* I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called
Until justice flows down and righteousness Like a mighty stream Keep alive the names Of those who put their lives out on the front lines And died just trying to live and breathe
I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called
See Medgar Evers When the roll is called
Andrew Goodman When the roll is called
James Chaney When the roll is called
Michael Schwerner and Emmett Till When the roll is called
I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called
Carole Robertson When the roll is called
Denise and Cynthia When the roll is called
Addie Mae Collins When the roll is called
Herbert Lee, William Brewster, Louie Allen
I'll be rested when the roll is called Yes I will I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called I'll be rested when the roll is called
See Fred Hampton When the roll is called
Brother Malcolm When the roll is called
Robert Kennedy When the roll is called
Reverend Martin Luther King When the roll is called
Oh what a time Oh what a time! He'll say: 'Servant, servant well done Come on home and rest your weary, your weary bones'
I'm gonna join the heavenly choir I'll be rested
Oh! Look here! Sister Mahalia Jackson Brother Archie Brownlee Sister Clara Ward Dr. Thomas A. Dorsey
Reverend Julius Cheeks And look over there, there goes Dr. Watts Sister Marion Williams
Oh my, my, my Oh there he is, Poppa Staples, And you got your guitar with you
Oh what a time Singing with a heavenly choir
And we're going to sing, sing hallelujah And never get tired
Oh, thank you now We're back together now [Fades:]
