The Show Must Go On

My heart gently weeps yet again For the long lost song of Mercury. I know it’s been some 27 years since he left the stage we mortals call life, But even now his light still is bright in this darkness we call our lives. We all still honor his very existence every day. Even if we don’t know it we carry on the torch of his music, From merely jamming out to his glorious voice to creating an award-winning biopic about his life with Queen, We still are the champions of the world even if we bite the dust, because we make sure Freddie lives forever. His voice is that of angels singing and nobody can outdo it, Even if you try with all your might he’ll whisk you away with the flick of a microphone, For even his vocal range is as unique as he was. Even in just writing a song, he can outdo the norm, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Killer Queen,” and “We Are the Champions” just to name a few. He drew out the best of people, rocking audiences to the very core, For Queen belongs to even the loneliest souls of the world, the ones who just don’t belong. We find ourselves in music, in Queen, in Freddie Mercury, and that you can’t replace. Life goes on though, we always have to find the will to carry on. We can continue to carry Mercury’s flamboyant torch onward though, Keep on passing the torch down to the younger generations. We can continue to rock out and enjoy life while we can, Because nothing lasts forever and we don’t know when life will fade. Queen lives on with Adam Lambert alongside Brian May and Roger Taylor, Even if Freddie is gone, his life is carried on through Queen and every single one of us. No matter what, the show must go on, for Freddie Mercury and Freddie Mercury alone.
