Fallen Messenger

Verse One

In the library, hope came into view
Standing with heroes’, time let me walk through
(The) Face of honest Abe, on a book cover
(Then) John Kennedy and, Bobby his brother

Verse Two

Sat with Gandhi and, Martin Luther King
I read about peace, I heard freedom ring
Their eyes were intent on, change they could share
They were wise in ways, so quiet in prayer

Bridge

A few words go far so they say
Actions speak louder and slip away
Rest in peace shaking heads can pray
It’s always about the words they say

Chorus

When unfolding evil shoots tragedy
The Fallen Messenger the world see’s
The message remains what will be will be
The Fallen Messenger the world see’s

Verse Three

Aiming for peace was, Yitzak Rabin’s goal
John Lennon sang it, then hate lost control
Shot in cold blood, hearts of love gone by
Courage makes a mark, when millions will cry
