Thank you
Here's a, here's a song for the heroes of the spirit
Was a man named Mahatma Gandi
He would not bow down, he would not fight
Knew the deal was down and dirty
And nothing wrong could make it right away
But he knew his duty, and the prize he had to pay
Just another holy man who tried to make a stand
My God, they killed him
Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
Name of Martin Luther King
Shook the land like rolling thunder
Made the bells of freedom ring today
With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away
Just another holy man who dared to be a friend
My God, they killed him
ย
My God, they killed him
The only Son of God Almighty
The holy One called Jesus Christ
Healed the lame and fed the hungry
For His love, they took His life away
On the road to glory where the story never ends
Just the holy Son of man, we'll never understand
My God, they killed Him
Sing about Mahatma Gandi
Sing of Martin Luther King
Sing of Jesus Christ Almighty
And the brothers, Kennedy
ย
Right back at you
