Abraham, Martin, And John
Legacy of Freedom: Abraham, Martin, and John's Timeless Message
Lyrics
Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Searching for Abraham, symbolizing a historical figure.
Can you tell me where he's gone?
Asking about the whereabouts of Abraham.
Oh, he freed a lot of people but the good they die young
Abraham liberated many, but the virtuous often die young.
I just looked around and he's gone, gone
Realizing Abraham is gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Inquiring about John, another figure's location.
Can you tell me where he's gone?
Asking for information about John's whereabouts.
Oh, he freed lotta people but the good they die young
John freed many, but the righteous often die young.
I just looked around and he's gone, gone, gone (gone), gone
Realizing John is gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Seeking information about Martin, another historical figure.
Can you tell me where he's gone?
Inquiring about Martin's location.
He freed some people but the good they die young
Martin liberated some, but the virtuous often die young.
I just looked around and he's gone, gone, gone, gone
Realizing Martin is gone.
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Asking if there's admiration for their beliefs and actions.
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me (for you and me)?
Questioning if they attempted to bring positive change for all.
And we'll be free
Hope for eventual freedom inspired by their legacy.
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day
Anticipating a future day of unity and freedom.
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Asking about Bobby's whereabouts, likely another figure.
Can you tell me, can you tell me me where he's gone?
Seeking information about Bobby's location.
I thought I saw him walkin' way over the hill
Seeing Bobby in the distance.
With Abraham, Martin, and John (Abraham, Martin and John, oh)
Imagining Bobby with Abraham, Martin, and John.
(Abraham, Martin and John) I thought I saw him walking
Recalling seeing them together.
(Abraham, Martin and John) thought I heard them talking
Recalling their conversations about liberating people.
(Abraham, Martin and John) about freeing the people
Discussion about freeing people, echoing their values.
(Abraham, Martin, John) how to free the people
Reflecting on their guidance on liberating others.
(Abraham, Martin and John) which ones to tell
Deciding who should carry on their message.
(Abraham, Martin and John) and now they're all gone, gone, gone
Realizing they're all gone.
Hallelujah
An expression of praise or thanks.
