Dear Michael Jackson
I was just a child; a Pretty young thing
I barely knew my ABCs
You instilled great words for Music and me
You made History; You’re just another part of me
You’ve given so much to the children; to your fans
But your battle with demons got out of hand
There were charges of sexual and substance abuse
They grabbed hold of you and tormented you
YOU were the best; you defied the laws of physics
Topping the highest charts with your number one hits
You’re still Unbreakable; it was like you were Invincible
You couldn’t control your feet when the music got into you
YOU were the Greatest show on Earth
And your tragedy was a fate that you did not deserve
Heaven can wait; I want you back
Bring us new music that we once had
Workin’ day and night like a Dancing machine
Fulfilled our appetites but starved your dream
It Makes me wanna scream that you’re Out of my life
Because I know how hard it is to survive
When you have so much hurt in you
You can’t tell Who’s lovin’ you
And You can’t win when they’re defeating you
But who could we blame? Do we Blame it on the boogie?
Or do we blame it on the ones that were filled with jealousy
It just wasn’t Human nature that they did you that way
Who would’ve known that you’re life would pay?
It’s ironic that the man who was Scared of the moon
Was inspired by the moon and is now above the moon
And I swear, Michael, you left us too soon
But you’re in a place where there’s healing for wounds
You died alone but You are not alone
The Rockin’ Robin that sang is now flying home
To a place where you’re no longer a Tabloid Junkie
To a place where you can finally be free
Free from the pain and the deceit
Free from the illness you couldn’t beat
Maybe tomorrow we’ll Heal the world
Maybe it will sink in that We are the world
But if we could make it better so there’d never be pain
Then, Michael, your life could never be in vain
