They Killed Him Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

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 !
