作曲:Judy Collins
I didn't even
know the man
I didn't know
the man himself
Even though his
music filled my life
As it has so many others
I knew that he had
died that week
After fighting death
a year or more
But I had had a rule before
That funerals were
a waste of flowers
But something
said I had to go
To be a witness to
his gift of love
A man who never
once gave up on life
Until death took him
in his tracks
The people stood
around the church
Ten thousand people
there they say or more
Black and white
rich and poor
Together they were
there to say farewell
In New York city it
had rained that day
The streets were silver
and the sky was grey
But in the church the
music soared and sang
And seemed to fill the air
with shining sun
The man was a hero
He played the music
of our souls
He knew that
we all have in us
A place where beauty
always grows
Outside in the streets again
The people wandered
through the falling rain
They waved their hands
and dried their tears
And turned to go
about their lives again
But none of us
will be the same
If we hear the things
his music says
That loving is
the gift of life
And making music
was his way of love
The man was a hero
He played the music
of our souls
He knew that
we all have in us
A place where beauty
always grows
