Young and strong Hollywood son
In the early morning light
This star fell down
On Sunset Boulevard
Young and strong beautiful one
We embraced so close
Is gone
Was torn torn away
So let the youth of America mourn
Include him in their prayers
Let his image linger on
Repeat it everywhere
With candles with flowers
He was one of ours
He was one of ours
Why don't you let him be
He's gone
We know
Give his mother and his father peace
Your vulture's candor
Your casual slander
You murder his memory
He's gone
We know
And it's nothing but a tragedy
Lay to rest your soul your body
Lay beside your name
Lay to rest your rage
Your hunger and amazing grace
With candles with flowers
You were one of ours
I saw cameras expose your life
I heard rumors explode explode with lies
I saw children in tears
Cry and crowd around the sight
Of where you had collapsed that day
Where your last breath and word
Had been sighed
Where your heart had burst
Where you had died
I saw where you had died
I saw where you had died
Let the youth of America mourn
Include him in their prayers
Let his image linger on
Repeat it everywhere
Let the youth of America mourn
Include him in their prayers
Let his image linger on
Repeat it everywhere
