Songtext
A man lay dying in the streets
A thousand 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 battleground was red
'Cause blood came pouring from his head
Women and children fallin' down
Crying
For the man they loved so well
Lord, Lord, Lord
But Lord knows I can't change what I saw
I say, God rest his soul
Alright, break here
Lord knows I can't change what I saw
I say, God rest his soul
The morning sun will rise again
With all their patience growing thin
What're we gonna do when war has come and we're
Dying
Dying for the cause, I know
Yeah, but
Lord knows I can't change what I saw
I say, God rest his soul
