They Killed Him
There was a man named Mahatma GhandiHe would not bow down, he would not fightHe knew the deal was down and dirtyAnd nothing wrong could make it right away
But he knew his duty, and the price he had to payJust another holy man who tried to make a standMY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM !
Another man from Atlanta, GeorgiaBy the name of Martin Luther KingHe shook the land like rolling thunderAnd made the bells of freedom ring today
With a dream of beauty that they could not burn awayJust another holy man who dared to be a friendMY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM !
The only son of God AlmightyThe holy one called Jesus ChristHealed the lame and fed the hungryAnd for his love they took his life away
On the road to glory where the story never endsJust the holy son of man we'll never understandMY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM !
