This was for my English class, and it is for the book To Kill A Mockingbird.
It is about the trial of Tom Robinson.

(To the tune of "Stop! In The Name Of Love".
Originally by Diana Ross & The Supremes)



Stop! In The Name Of Truth
_______________________________

Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life

Jury, Jury
I'm aware of what you think
Each time you say a word
I watch you think of how to speak
Knowing the words might be bleak
But this time before you plea
Leaving him found guilty
(Think it over) After I've talked to you?
(Think it over) After I've pleaded with you?

Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life
Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life
Think it over
Think it over

I've known of
Your racist rights
I've even seen it
Maybe once or twice
But is your bigoted transgression
Worth all of this sinful oppression?
But this time before your mind is set
Please do not go and forget
(Think it over) After I've talked to you?
(Think it over) After I've pleaded with you?

Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life
Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life
Think it over
Think it over



I've tried so hard, so hard to be fair
Hoping you'd find a reason to care
But each time you forget ambition
I'm going to start a petition


Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life
Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life
Stop! In the name of truth
Before you change his life

Jury, think it over
Think it over, jury
Ooh, think it over jury...
