Who Did They Think He Was

A child was born in Tupelo

In 1935

I'm grateful for his music

It forever changed my life

Oh, I loved, 'Love me tender'

And how that boy could sing

But when he died I wondered why

Millions called him, 'King'

Tell me, who did they think

Who did they think he was?

Who did they think

Who did they think he was?

The whole world bowed and prayed

But it only made me say

Who did they think

Who did they think he was?

He was born in Massachusetts

In 1917

The second son of an Irishman

Oh, we all loved Kennedy

He was brave and strong and handsome

A helluva a president

But when he died

Millions cried like he was heaven sent

Tell me who did they think

Who did they think he was?

Who did they think

Who did they think he was?

The whole world bowed and prayed

But it only made me say

Who did they think

Who did they think he was?

There was a Child of heaven

Born in Bethlehem

Just a simple Carpenter

With worn and calloused hands

Oh, He healed the hearts of many

So they nailed Him to a tree

With no one left to mourn His death

But the women at His feet

Crying, who did they think

Who did they think He was

Who did they think

Who did they think He was?

There was no one left to grieve

But the women at His feet

Crying, who did they think

Who did they think He was?

Who did they think

Who did they think He was?
