We all remember
What they left of him
They looked on and laughed
At a time we couldn't bare
The weight
And they say

Where were you when he came into town
Quit your hiding, boy, look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way
Is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him
To make sure the man of tomorrow

Won't come again
Oh
Oh, he won't come again

Look what happened to
The martyr they made of him
People walked for miles
To see where he'd lay

Where were you when he came into town
Quit your hiding, boy, look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way
Is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him
To make sure the man of tomorrow

Won't come again
Oh
No, he won't come again
Oh, mm

He said
What are you running from, my son
Don't hang your head for the things you done
Live your life in honesty
(And mama said you're just like me)

And now the man of tomorrow
Is just like me
You're just like me
Mm-mm
