Michael ©
Sophie Boswell/BuntyBisharah

A new star now shines for us; the brightest in the sky
Since Michael, you had to leave us and bade this world goodbye
You were a great entertainer, on this planet Earth
Who shared a wonderful gift, given to you at birth

Michael, your song and dance, live on eternally
This world was way too cruel for you, but now you’re free

‘Light of foot’, you skimmed across the floor
As your audience clapped and cheered and cried for more
And when you sang, so beautifully
You bared your soul for all to see

Michael, your song and dance, live on eternally
This world was way too cruel for you, but now you’re free

Your light and energy touched everyone
Each time you stood on the stage and sang
You made this world, a much better place
You were an inspiration to the human race

Michael, your song and dance, live on eternally
This world was way too cruel for you, but now you’re free

Just before you left us, you sang a song called “Smile”
And you sang it like an angel; you had such style
It was like a lovely dream about a perfect day
You left the world something that will never go away.
