What's gonna happen now, in all of our cities? |
|
My people are rising, they're living in lies |
|
Even if they have to die, even if they have to die |
|
At the moment they know what life is |
|
Even at that one moment that ya know what life is |
|
If you have to die, it's all right |
|
'Cause you know what life is |
|
You know what freedom is for one moment of your life |
|
But he had seen the mountaintop and he knew he could not stop |
|
Always living with the threat of death ahead |
|
Folks you'd better stop and think, everybody knows we're on the brink |
|
What will happen now, that the King is dead? |
|
We can all shed tears, it won't change a thing |
|
Teach your people, will they ever learn? |
|
Must you always kill with burn and burn with guns |
|
And kill with guns and burn, don't you know how we gotta react? |
|
But he had seen the mountaintop and he knew he could not stop |
|
Always living with the threat of death ahead |
|
Folks you'd better stop and think, everybody knows we're on the brink |
|
What will happen, now that the King of Love is dead? |
