They Killed Him Lyrics by Kris Kristofferson

They Killed Him Lyrics

    There was a man named mahatma ghandi
    He would not bow down, he would not fight
    He knew the deal was 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 tried to make a stand
    My god, they killed him !

    Another man from atlanta, georgia
    By the name of martin luther king
    He shook the land like rolling thunder
    And 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 !

    The only son of god almighty
    The holy one called jesus christ
    Healed the lame and fed the hungry
    And 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 ghandi
    Sing of martin luther king
    Sing of jesus christ almighty
    And the brothers kennedy
