[Verse 1] Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham Can you tell me where he’s gone He freed a lot of people but the good they say die young And I just looked around and he was gone [Verse 2] Has anybody here seen my old friend John Can you tell me where he’s gone He freed a lot of people but the good they say die young And I just looked around and he was gone [Verse 3] Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin Can you tell me where he’s gone He freed a lot of people but the good they say die young And I just looked around and he was gone [Bridge] Didn’t you love the things they stood for    Didn’t they try to find some good for you and me So we’ll be free Someday soon it’s gonna be a new day [Verse 4] Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby Can you tell me where he’s gone I thought I saw him walking up over the hill With Abraham Martin and John [Verse 5] Precious memories how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious sacred seems unfold

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la nostalgie d'amis disparus, chacun ayant œuvré pour la liberté et la justice. L'auteur se remémore ces figures emblématiques, exprimant une tristesse face à leur absence tout en célébrant leur héritage et les valeurs pour lesquelles ils ont combattu. Il véhicule l'idée que les personnes qui font le bien sont souvent perdues trop tôt, laissant derrière elles des souvenirs précieux qui résonnent au plus profond de notre âme. Ce morceau s'inscrit dans un contexte de réflexion sur la perte et le souvenir de leaders qui ont marqué l'histoire par leurs actions. Au-delà de l'hommage, il invite à espérer en des jours meilleurs, où leur lutte pour la liberté et la justice pourra enfin fleurir.
