What will happen now, that the King is dead?
We can all shed tears, it won't change a thing
Must you always kill with burn and burn with guns
And kill with guns and burn, don't you know how we gotta react?
Even at that one moment that ya know what life is
Always living with the threat of death ahead
Folks you'd better stop and think, everybody knows we're on the brink
But he had seen the mountaintop and he knew he could not stop
But he had seen the mountaintop and he knew he could not stop
Teach your people, will they ever learn?
If you have to die, it's all right
Folks you'd better stop and think, everybody knows we're on the brink
Even if they have to die, even if they have to die
At the moment they know what life is
You know what freedom is for one moment of your life
'Cause you know what life is
Always living with the threat of death ahead
