가사: Kate Campbell. For The Living Of These Days. 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 King
He shook the land like a rolling thunder
And made the bells of freedom ring today
With a dream of beauty that they could not take away
Just another holy man who dared to make a stand
My God, they killed him

The only Son of God Almighty
The holy one called Jesus Christ
He healed the sick and he 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 I'll never understand
My God, they killed him

My God, they killed him
My God, they killed him
