Farewell to a King

Farewell to a King Getting in my car I turned the radio on
 Stunned when I heard a king was gone
 Another icon of my life
 Placed to shine in the sky of eternity’s night

 A star of royalty blazing bright
 The King of Pop who was such a delight
 To his millions and millions of fans
 That adored him across many lands

 We watched his showmanship come alive
When he sang lead for the Jackson five
 A young and budding superstar
Who knew that he would go so far

As to become a household name
 Whose legacy will forever remain
Written across the pages of History
This king of pop whose boundless popularity
 
Propelled King Michael, music’s most precious icon
To a plateau that will forever live on
 And on eternity’s stage we know he’ll do well
Weaving his magical musical spell

 And when it’s our turn to exit life’s race
 And we go to that special place
I know his performance will be electric and rare
To see him perform I’ve Got to be there
