William Moore you were a mailman
You never missed a day
You always got your letter thru
Nobody blocked your way

Nobody blocked your way, I know
Nobody blocked your way
You always got your letter through
Nobody blocked your way
It wasn’t an ordinary message

One day you had a message
You felt you had to shout
It wasn’t an ordinary message
Took you beyond your route

Took you beyond your route, I know
Took you beyond your route
It wasn’t an ordinary message
Took you beyond your route

The message dealt with brotherhood
And love and friendship too
It wasn’t a regular message
So they wouldn't let you through
They wouldn't let you through, I know
They wouldn't let you through
It wasn’t a regular message
So they wouldn't let you through

They stopped you, William Moore, I know
But your message did get through
For they can kill a man for sure
But not his message too

But not his message too, I know
But not his message too
For they can kill a man for sure
But not his message too

Your message did get thru, I know
Your message did get through
For they can kill a man for sure
But your message did get through
