Tell me, tell me the truth.
Or do you only know the tabloids?
Do you hear his words?
Or simple interpretation of...
what he said, she said, he said.
Every song on repeat,
Every lyrics traced for impact.
I remember, I remember every word.
And I shall sing, in memory.
And I shall cry, of pain.
But he has given me more than songs.
He has given me a reason to survive.
A reason to change the world.
One line at a time.

To reflect on how Michael changed or gave hope to our lives was a good choice.
I'm sure in any one of his songs we could relate to and I myself had a fair few.
Thank you you reminded me on why I truly loved his music, he spoke what we would only think through his songs, and you captured that beauty about him in your wonderful contribution and write.
