1
They killed a man for doing wrong today
2
When all he ever did in life was look the other way
3
And with his verdict someone heard him pray
4
The crowd gathered round to see the look on his face
5
Will they ever know the last words he spoke?
6
He cried, "Mother!" as the people stood and stared
7
He cried, "Mother!" but no one seemed to care
8
Barely 25 years to his name
9
Only the good die young is too hard to say
10
With a wife and child living back at home
11
Far from here where he dies all alone
12
Will they ever know the last words he spoke?
13
He cried, "Mother!"
14
Ask the people who were there
15
When he cried, "Mother!" it sounded like a prayer
16
They killed a man for doing wrong today
