John F. Kennedy Remembered lyrics

We remember the day he died

The whole world did too

Those television reports

A day as if the world ended

Without hope, goodness lost

A senseless, shared travesty

The shameful motives of men

A well-meaning proper President

How could such a good soul

Vanish into eternity unlauded

Remembering his voice, so kind

Great aspirations, a young man

All dashed upon the rocks

As if a horrific nightmare

Unwakeable, inescapable

He showed many death's toll

His son held his mother's hand

The sorrow that his daddy died

It did not really sink in then

We all shared the harrowing hell

That grief, a country in turmoil

The path to come uncertain

This one we came on, so rocky

An eternal flame and green grass

They remain, all else is gone

No more caissons, honour guards

Family and friends, many rest now

Seems an unfair trade for the loss

Walter Cronkite wept, we all did

Heaven's star had fallen

Our hearts were broken

The silence proved its demise

There is no room for conspiracies

Mourning for daughter, son and wife

Now the days have quelled suffering

Their aches hushed by death

A shadow that always follows

Until at last we lie down

And light is snuffed out surely

By the subterranian sepulchre
