You made the world a better place. We are all better for you being here and doing your Dharma with style, courage, and perseverance. Though you died way too young, your legacy continues to grow, and has already affected this country and the world for all time. Thanks for your sacrifice. Aum and blessings to You on whatever plane you are.
Abraham, Martin, and John
Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta 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 lotta 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 lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around 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, it's 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

Excellent song, brings a stir of emotion as I remember where I was, what I was doing when it came out. That was when peace and love really flowed through my veins. Got to get back to where I once belonged!
Namaste from a true old hippie! :)
