There was a time, there was a child
He sang songs that made the world cry
Never did we think we’d say goodbye
He gave himself to the world
We didn’t take care of him the way we should
And now we wish we could
He taught us the world can be cruel
But don’t give up, don’t let it get to you
No one could go through what he’s been through
He believed, we could make the world better
Play his songs and watch the world come together
He will be in our hearts forever
So I look up to the sky
Wondering if he sees us cry
There’s someone moonwalking on the clouds tonight
I know it’s better on the other side
With the angels by your side
And now we all cry at the same time tonight
There was a time, there was a man
He took the stage like no one else can
He stole our hearts with a glove on his hand
He had it all, fortune and fame
Still lived lonely because of his name
In his music you could feel his pain
And now he’s gone, he’s a true legend
But I know he’s smiling up in heaven
Watching us celebrate as we miss him
He gave us music that will be played forever
Songs that will be sung when we get together
Music that will make this world better
So I look up to the sky
Wondering if he sees us cry
There’s someone moonwalking on the clouds tonight
I know it’s better in the other side
With the angels by your side
And now we all cry at the same time tonight
