Lyrics

[00:11.19] They killed a man for doing wrong today
[00:17.70] When all he ever did in life was look the other way
[00:22.20] And with his verdict someone heard him pray
[00:26.50] The crowd gathered around to see the look on his face
[00:33.73] Will they ever know the last words he spoke
[00:44.41] He cried, "Mother," as the people stood and stared
[00:56.13] He cried, "Mother," and no one seemed to care
[01:05.59]
[01:07.92] Barely 25 years to his name
[01:11.40] Only the good die young
[01:14.67] It's too hard to say
[01:18.35] With a wife and child living back at home
[01:22.93] Far from here where he dies all alone
[01:30.31] Will they ever know, the last words he spoke
[01:40.67] He cried, "Mother," at the people who were there
[01:51.93] Well he cried, "Mother"
[01:56.91] It sounded like a prayer
[02:04.10]
[02:37.39] They killed a man for doing wrong today
[02:42.64] Mmm
[02:45.32] Mmm
[02:48.30] Mmm
[02:50.22] Mmm
[02:53.70] Mmm
[02:56.56] Mmm
[02:59.42] Mmm
