The Day the Music Stopped – Susan Varo – 6/25/2009

Today is the day

The day the music stopped

You have left us all

You have left us King of Pop

We’ve all been there

Through your trials and strife

Everyone’s still here

At the end of your life

We can’t hear the music

Are you singing out of range

And there’s something we haven’t heard before

There’s just silence and it’s all so strange

Were you left all alone

Did you need a helping hand

As we try to piece it all together

Did you leave a broken man

Your world has stopped spinning

We couldn’t have the last dance

Perhaps when we see what you left behind

Perhaps we’ll have the chance

You’re away now no worries

Maybe now there’s love and peace

Away from the media circus

For right now, right now at least

You will reign well into the future

No one else will be on top

From today this very day

The day the music stopped
