a man lay dieing in the streets
a thousend people fell down on their knees
any other day he would have been.....
preaching
reaching all the people there
oh lord lord
but lord knows i can´t change what i saw
i say god rest his soul
the memphis battelground was red
cause blood came pouring from his head
women and children fallin´ down.....
crying
for the man they loved so well
oh lord lord
but lord knows i can´t change what i saw
i say god rest his soul
(i breake here)
solo
but lord knows i can´t change what i saw
i say god rest his soul
the morning sun will rise again
with all the passions growing thin
what we gonna do when war is come.. and we´r
dieing
dieing for the cause i know

(yeah but)
but lord knows i can´t change what i saw
say god rest his soul
