Young and strong
Hollywood son
In the early
Morning light
This star fell down
On Sunset Boulevard
Young and strong
Beautiful one
That we embrace
So close, is gone
Was torn away
Let the youth of
America mourn
Include him
In their prayers
Let his image
Linger on
Repeat it
Everywhere...
With candles
With flowers
He was one
Of ours
One of ours
Why don't you,
Let him be?
He's gone
We know
Give his Mother
And his Father
Peace
Your vulture's candor
Your casual slander
You murder his
Memory
He's gone
We know
It's nothin'
But a tragedy
Lay to rest your
Soul and body
Lay beside your
Name
Lay to rest
Your rage
Your hunger
And amazing grace...
With candles
With flowers
You were one
Of ours
One of ours
I saw cameras
Expose your life
I heard rumors
Explode with lies
I saw children
In tears
Cry and crowd
Around the sight
Of where you had
Collapsed that day
Where your last
Breath and word
Had been sighed
Where your heart
Had burst
And where you
Had died
Where you
Had died
Where you
Had died
I saw how they
Were lost in
Grieving
All half believing
You were gone
Oh...the loss and pain
Of it
Crime and the
Shame of it
You were gone
It was such a
Nightmare raving,
''How can we save,
Him from himself?''
I saw how they
Were lost in
Grieving
All half believing
You were gone
Oh...the loss and pain
Of it
Crime and the
Shame of it
You were gone...
