Eddie Murray was a fine young man
He had everything to fight for and nothing to die for
His mother and his father they loved him true
And all of his brothers and his sisters too
Now they are crying out for justice
Hearts are filled with sorrow
For their boy with so much future
Who will have no tomorrow
