Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody's missing a friend, hold on
Somebody's lacking a hero
And they have not a clue
When it's all gonna end


Stories buried and unfold
Someone is hiding the truth, hold on
When will this mystery unfold
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind man's eyes when he cries?


You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight


People laugh when they're feelin sad
Someone is taking a life, hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you
when your children cried last night?


Faces fill with madness
Miracles unheard of, hold on
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do
Is reach for the truth


And when that flag blows
There'll be no more wars
And when all calls
I will answer all your prayers


Change the world.

CRY by Michael Jackson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know a lot of you probably hate the guy.
And some surely love him as much as I do.

Yesterday was surreal.
I feel like Michael Jackson took a piece of my childhood with him.
So many memories...
Going to the mall and watching Thriller on the WALL of televisions in the Sears Department store.
Plastered photos of him on my walls.
Singing along in my basement - trying to move my no-freaking-rhythm body like him...and failing miserably lol.

And then in later years
Feeling saddened by the big red target he painted on himself by various oddities...strange interviews.

For the record - I don't think he was guilty of any of it.
In particular the last kid who's mother had already sued three other entertainers claiming the same bs.

Now. Well now it doesn't matter what any of us believe anymore.
He's gone - and I hope that he is basking in the acceptance, love and peace that he was so seriously lacking on this earth.

I'm going to go watch Thriller now on YouTube.
Pretend I'm six years old and standing in Sears.
