anybody here
seen my old friend Abraham
can you tell me where he’s gone
he freed a lotta people
it seems the good, they die young
I just looked around
and he’s gone

anybody here
seen my old friend John
can you tell me where he’s gone
he freed a lotta people
but it seems the good, they die young
I just looked around
and he’s gone

anybody here
seen my old friend Martin
can you tell me where he’s gone
he freed a lotta people
seems the good, they die young
I just looked around
and he’s gone

didn’t you love the things they stood for
didn’t you love the things they gave to you

anybody here
seen my old friend Bobby
can you tell me where he’s gone
I saw him walkin’ up over the hillside
with Abraham Martin and John
saw him walkin’ over the hillside
Abraham Martin and John
