Michael Jackson – Susan Varo – 6/25/2009

Our hearts have been broken

How can this be today

Seems so quick you passed this world

Since you went away

It’s so incomprehensible

How long did it take

For our minds to tell us

It is true there’s no mistake

It’s like everyone has felt it

A tremendous personal loss

Now we know that some gifts aren’t free

When it’s our hearts that pay the cost

You tried to fix a broken world

So we could all belong

You paid your dues and so much more

You sang more than just a song

We will remember today

Yesterday and you of way back when

But we will never see

The likes of you again

How we will long to see

The show that must go on

How we will want to hear

The songs and you perform

You have given us a moment

And a place and time with you to share

But now all is left is music

Sadly you won’t be there

We want to come and see you

We’re screaming out your name

The stage has all been set up

But you never came

Patiently we could wait

But it’s just an act of love

Just one more peek from under your hat

And a wave from your silver glove

What about those moonwalks

Since you are not around

We are trying to get our footing

So we won’t keep losing ground

It wasn’t just a space walk

That may sound out of tune

As far as I can see

No one’s walking on the moon

Your young voice of innocence

Make our eyes well up with tears

There will be an emptiness

For years and years and years.

I’ll cherish the times I saw you

That now seems bittersweet

We’re left alone while you’ve gone home

Goodbye to Jackson Street

We will miss your natural appeal

We will miss your star attraction

We will remember you always

And always Michael Jackson
