american opera - michael lyrics

[verse 1]
my father called me on the phone
one day as i was returning home
i could not hear, could not make clear
what he was trying to say
and my mother’s voice crept on the line
and i could tell that she’d been crying
and to this day i still hear her say
that michael p-ssed away
no, no

[pre-chorus]
we will be strong
michael, carry on

[chorus]
michael, carry on
you’re never gone as long
as we sing your songs
so sing along
oh, michael, we’ll be strong
you’re never really gone
we carry on

[verse 2]
from baseball cards to cigarettes
a childhood filled with happiness
behind the scenes of silver screens
the sun, the sand, the sea
from packs of cards to packs of smokes
a boxer thrown against the ropes
you gave your all, you stood so tall
but every tree will fall
no

[pre-chorus]
we will be strong (no)
michael, carry on
the last time i saw you alive
was after a ten-hour drive
you came to our show
stood there front row
and sang along with pride

[chorus]
michael, carry on
you’re never gone as long
as we sing your songs
so sing along
oh, michael, we’ll be strong
you’re never really gone
we carry on
on and on and on
and on and on and on
on and on and on

[outro]
were you happy here?
i don’t think you were
were you happy here?
i don’t think you were
’cause we’re not happy
since you’ve gone away
were you happy here?
did you float away?
amidst the pain and suffering
the tales we tell
the songs we sing
it’s clear you’re here
even though you’re gone
your life lives on and on
and one more thing, before you know
it’s gonna be our time to go
we carry on
your life lives on
as long as we sing your songs
