[00:12:53] Why? (The King of Love Is Dead) - Nina Simone
[00:12:53] why? (the king of love is dead)
[00:12:53] by Gene Taylor
[00:12:53] recorded by Nina Simone, 1967
[00:12:53] Once upon this planet earth,
[00:12:53] Lived a man of humble birth,
[00:12:53] Preaching love and freedom for his fellow man,
[00:12:53] He was dreaming of a day,
[00:12:53] Peace would come to earth to stay,
[00:12:53] And he spread this message all across the land.
[00:12:53] Turn the other cheek he鈥檇 plead,
[00:12:53] Love thy neighbor was his creed,
[00:12:53] Pain humiliation death, he did not dread
[00:12:53] With his Bible at his side,
[00:12:53] From his foes he did not hide,
[00:12:53] It鈥檚 hard to think that this great man is dead. (Oh yes)
[00:12:53] Will the murders never cease,
[00:12:53] Are thy men or are they beasts?
[00:12:53] What do they ever hope, ever hope to gain?
[00:12:53] Will my country fall, stand or fall?
[00:12:53] Is it too late for us all?
[00:12:53] And did Martin Luther King just die in vain?
[00:12:53] Cos he鈥檇 seen the mountain top,
[00:12:53] And he knew he could not stop,
[00:12:53] Always living with the threat of death ahead.
[00:12:53] Folks you鈥檇 better stop and think
[00:12:53] Cos we鈥檙e heading for the brink.
[00:12:53] What will happen now that he is dead?
[00:12:53] He was for equality,
[00:12:53] For all people you and me,
[00:12:53] Full of love and good will, hate was not his way.
[00:12:53] He was not a violent man.
[00:12:53] Tell me folks if you can,
[00:12:53] Just why, why was he shot down the other day?
[00:12:53] Well see he鈥檇 seen, the mountain top.
[00:12:53] And he knew he could not stop,
[00:12:53] Always living with the threat of death ahead.
[00:12:53] Folks you鈥檇 better stop and think鈥nd feel again,
[00:12:53] For we鈥檙e heading for the brink.
[00:12:53] What鈥檚 gonna happen now that the king of love is dead?
