There was a man, voice of the people

Standing on the balcony, of the Loraine Motel

Shots rang out, yes, it was a gun

He was the only one, to fall down, ya’ll

That ain’t right, then his people screamed

Ain’t no need for sunlight!

(Ain't no need for sunlight)

Ain’t no need for moon light!

(Ain't no need for moon light)

Ain’t no need for street light (Ain't no need for street light)

It’s burning really bright (Real bright)
