G 
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 
                                 G7     C 
And nothing wrong could make it right away 
                 C                            G  
But he knew his duty and the price he had to pay 
       G           D                      C 
Just another holy man who dared to be a friend 
              G 
My God, they killed him 


Another man from Atlanta, Georgia 

Name of Martin Luther King 

He shook the land like a rolling thunder 
                               G7     C 
And made the bells of freedom ring today 
 C                                                G 
With a dream of beauty that they could not take away 
                   D                        C 
Just another holy man who dared to make a stand 
              G 
My God, they killed him 


The only Son of God Almighty 

The holy one called Jesus Christ 

He healed the sick and fed the hungry 
                                 G7   C 
And for his love they took his life away 
                 C                         G            
On the road to glory where the story never ends 
                      D                    C 
Just the holy Son of Man I'll never understand 
              G 
My God, they killed him
