A man of modest
|
|
beginnings had the
|
|
nerve to try to
|
|
change the world
|
|
Fought like a lion
|
|
even though he was
|
|
cryin' in a
|
|
sea of deep despair
|
|
tried to hide the
|
|
energy
|
|
tried to hide the
|
|
light
|
|
afraid of being
|
|
turned in
|
|
grappling with his nerves
|
|
a mind working at the speed of lightening
|
|
a man with a heart of gold
|
|
just tryin' to do the right thing
|
|
bringing joy to countless thousands
|
|
and what did we do to him?
|
|
as he grew OLD and outdated
|
|
we did something utterly APPALLING!
|
|
made him out to be a caricature
|
|
nothing more than a joke
|
|
treated him like T R A S H
|
|
As he grew old and outdated
|
|
And, yes, we did the same thing
|
|
to marilyn
|
|
I WANT THEM TO KNOW
|
|
That what we did was so very wrong
|
|
We TORE out their hearts out
|
|
When they gave us so much
|
|
I want them to know
|
|
that we are so VERY SORRY
|
|
About what WE did
|
|
I will say a prayer for THEM
|
|
I want them to know
|
|
THAT OUR HATS ARE OFF TO THEM !
|
|
because they were such a generous souls
|
|
such good hearts
|
|
I suspect that their G H O S T s
|
|
are still with us and that they will soon
|
|
RISE AGAIN
|
|
to sing another day
|
|
to sing another day
|
|
to sing another day
|
|
In a mind-blowing EARTH-shattering way
|
|
Because good souls never die
|
|
Good spirits NEVER DIE
|
|
Believe me when i say
|
|
