I believe when someone passes away
|
Either a star is born, energy so pure
|
That it creates new worlds
|
Or as the soul releases
|
Shatters into pieces
|
Becoming free flowing thoughts
|
For my mental thesis
|
Maybe we just don't understand
|
The spirits that still walk the land
|
Or whatever the case
|
I believe that we all still remain
|
To share the same space
|
|
So dad, I know you're listenin'
|
How you been?
|
Oh, I'm doin' fine, just passin' time
|
Submerged in sin sometimes I take a bath
|
And just get all dirty again
|
I try to cleanse my mind, cleanse my soul and get in
|
Into that place you've been
|
No, I'm not tryin' to rush anything
|
I just wanna visit you because I miss you
|
So what you tryin' to say?
|
My imagination been wild since I been a child
|
And since you're laughin' then
|
I take it that good things are happenin'
|
|
The day I learned you were gone
|
A new star was born
|
Distant voices fill my mind
|
Said look up in the sky
|
And when I did there you were
|
|
Well, I'm sure you already know this
|
I'm a big pop star
|
And my pops is a star (ha ha)
|
No, you really are
|
Sometimes I feel like an anus
|
I kinda made you a little famous
|
Always spillin' my guts
|
Explainin' to these people who think I'm nuts
|
Told them how you and moms knuckled up
|
My excuse for being such a disrupt
|
Yeah, they sure did
|
They called you an abusive drunk
|
Sorry, I didn't realize the media would run with it
|
But now I know and sometimes I try to have fun with it
|
|
The day I learned you were gone
|
A new star was born
|
Distant voices fill my mind
|
Said look up in the sky
|
And when I did there you were
|
|
What did you say you wish to be free
|
Been here all this time because of me
|
And on August 16, 2001
|
Anything that I wish to release
|
Release? I see.
|
First of all I give you my thanks for preparing me
|
To be open and free
|
I release my mind releasin' my soul
|
Release the courage to break the mold
|
Release my record 20 million sold
|
Release my pops you're free to go
|
Create a new galaxy, yes dad
|
You'll still be right next to me
|
|
The day I learned you were gone
|
A new star was born
|
Distant voices fill my mind
|
Said look up in the sky
|
And when I did there you were
|
|
The day I learned you were gone
|
A new star was born
|
Distant voices fill my mind
|
Said look up in the sky
|
And when I did there you were
|
