Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he’s gone?
He freed a lot of 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 a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
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 a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked ’round 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, and it’s a-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.

“Never before has man had such capacity
to control his own environment,
to end thirst and hunger,
to conquer poverty and disease,
to banish illiteracy and massive human misery.
We have the power to make this
the best generation of mankind in the history of the world
…or make it the last.”
~ John F. Kennedy
“Don’t let it be forgot,
that once there was a spot,
for one brief shining moment
that was known as Camelot.”

who don’t know what to do with themselves
