Be Like Mike (Alt Rock Version)

Hard to believe, a soul will leave
From body on this earth
The lives he touched
Was never enough
A stranger to no one from birth

From ear to ear, was very clear
His smile was so infectious
If only it could resume
He’d light up the room
Time can be so precious

A life cut short, will always bring hurt
Leaving this world too soon
Love of his life has known
Her kids valued as his own
Takes time to heal the wound

It’s hard to tame, enduring the pain
Seems like never again
You’ll see his sweet face
But his legacy left trace
For all family and friends

Lived for the moment, as a showman
The cup of life must remain full
You only get one go
In your existence to show
Who you love and who you told

Left nothing on table, as he was able
Only photos in frame of joy shared
All the way to the very end
Cherished man’s best friend
A legend that one cannot compare

Lesson learned here, live in no fear
Hold strong and always fight
For those you surround
With solitude and sound
If we could all just be like Mike
