PAST THE PAIN

Dedicated to Michael Jackson…I love you R.I.P)

It never really mattered anyway

but sometimes, they couldn’t really see me/

it never really mattered anyway

but sometimes, the pain was there/

calling me names so undeserved;

now look at how many care/

throwing stones out to get me,

in the end, tears were shared/

I only wanted happiness

I only wanted to sing and dance

Wanted to give you all great music

Kiss a hurting heart, hold lonely hands/

It never really mattered anyway

but sometimes, they couldn’t really see me/

it never really mattered anyway

but sometimes, the pain was there/

Did you ever see my soul shine?
Did you ever know my heart?

Did you ever want to touch the whole world?

I was only trying to do my part!

I forgive you for your role

Anything negative you may have said

I will not leave this world in pain

Peace is all mine to have;

and I’m so glad!

Look into sky and see me

There are no debts or chains,

Soaring through the sky with Golden Wings

Standing by God’s unchanging hand!

Never knew that happiness was so sweet!

Never knew that joy was mine!

Never knew I could really enjoy sleep!

Never knew of things I didn’t have!

So glad, So glad!

It never really mattered anyway

but sometimes, they couldn’t really see me/

it never really mattered anyway

but sometimes, the pain was there/

sometimes

pain

was

there…..
