Why? (The King Of Love Is Dead)

We've stated before that the whole program is dedicated to his memory
 But this tune is written about him, and for him and so
 We had yesterday to learn it and so we'll see
 What's gonna happen now in all of our cities?
 My people are rising; they 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 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 better stop and think
 Everybody knows we're on the brink
 What will happen, now that the King of love is dead
