Anybody else have this song haunting them today?...

[stillcool]

Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day.
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John.

The song Abraham, Martin and John was written in 1968.

2. Unfortunately I don't really know the song, but

I can appreciate it. Just to offer a little hope. Their are some of us newbies to help stand in for Abraham and the rest. So while some old friends that have moved on are gone, some new friends will pitch in to carry the load.

Peace.

3. Oh, hey, thanks for that

:cry:
I've been listening to parts of the replay of Coretta Scott King's funeral and the speakers have brought me to tears several times.

4. Can`t believe this.

I started humming this song today right after Senator Kennedy spoke.

5. it's still running....

through my head....and with it.. the picture of my pre-teen perceptions is crystal clear. Hard to imagine being an adult in those days.
