They Killed Him

There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,He would not bow down, he would not fight.He knew the deal was a-down and dirty.And nothing wrong could make it right away.But he knew his duty and the price he had to pay.Just another holy man who dared to be a friend.My God, they killed him.Another man from Atlanta, Georgia,Name of Martin Luther KingHe shook the land like a rolling thunderAnd made the bells of freedom ring todayWith a dream of beauty that they could not take awayJust another holy man who dared to make a stand.My God, they killed him.The only Son of God AlmightyThe holy one called Jesus ChristHe healed the sick and fed the hungryAnd for his love they took his life awayOn the road to glory where the story never endsJust the holy Son of Man I'll never understand.My God, they killed him.(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,A man named Martin Luther KingThe only Son of God AlmightyThe holy one called Jesus Christ)On the road to glory where the story never endsJust the holy Son of Man I'll never understand.My God, they killed him.There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,A man named Martin Luther KingThe only Son of God AlmightyThe holy one called Jesus ChristOn the road to glory where the story never endsJust the holy Son of Man I'll never understand.My God, they killed him.(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,A man named Martin Luther KingThe only Son of God AlmightyThe holy one called Jesus Christ)(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,A man named Martin Luther King...)
