Toward the Fray - The Infamous Stringdusters

Death unfolds before my eyes

A frightened man’s unheeded cries

People, oh people

Trapped beneath the knee

Of the law gone wrong

And the force of history

Another too soon laid to rest

Some folks weep, some beat their chests

People, oh people

Let us stand on freedom’s side

For there can be no peace

Wherever justice is denied

As cities burn in summer heat

Temptation bids us to retreat

But people, my people

There’s is no other way

To love, except to turn

Our timid souls toward the fray
