River |
Young and strong hollywood son |
In the early morning light |
This star fell down |
On sunset boulevard |
Young and strong beautiful one |
One that we embraced 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 & father peace |
Your vulture’s candor |
Your casual slander |
Will murder his memory |
He’s gone |
We know |
And it’s nothing 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 |
He was one of ours |
One of ours |
I saw cameras expose your life |
I heard rumors explode with lies |
I saw children with tears |
Cry and crowd around the sight |
Of where you had collapsed that day |
Where your last breath & word |
Had been sighed |
Where your heart had burst |
Where you had died |
I saw how they were lost in grieving |
All half-believing you were gone |
The loss and pain of it |
Crime and the shame of it |
You were gone |
It was such a nightmare raving |
«how could we save him |
From himself?» |
