All My Heroes Have Died

Ingemar Olsson

All my heroes have died
But the song is still living
All my heroes have died
But the song is alive
When they shot John Lennon down
I thought I’d always wear a frown
But one who was crucified keeps me alive

All my heroes have died
But the song is still living
All my heroes have died
But the song is alive
When Mahatma Gandhi died
A world broke down and cried
But one who was crucified keeps me alive

Now I know that when the singing’s over
My hope begins to fade
Even so I know the song continues
Helping me to live and not be afraid

All my heroes have died
But the song is still living
All my heroes have died
But the song is alive
When they shot Martin Luther King
I thought I never more would sing
But one who was crucified keeps me alive

Now I know....

All my heroes have died
But the song is still living
All my heroes have died
But the song is alive
Yes, they hung him on a cross
And it seemed that all was lost
But though he was crucified he keeps me alive
