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...
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...

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...

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...
