R.I.P, you were a great performer ...you revolutionized an era. [Cause you are THRILLER]
A prisoner of all the tabloids who slandered you [You are so BAD]
Your technique that looked as if you were walking on the moon
All that gossip; you glided so they could talk in riddles
[You! You! You! You! You!]
Doesn't matter what you say or do
Just your existance itself has become a symbol; a ledgend. [We respect you!]
One that will surely be handed down from generation to generation for eternity. O-o-o, o-o-o
A name that no one would be ashamed of, you're the "KING OF POP"
Hey MAN IN THE MIRROR, rock the world
You are always #1
Forever with a life of youthful livelihood, you had your ups and downs [Live life OFF THE WALL]
Even your conflicts became a motivation to you (Force) The scene was a field where you were unchallenged [So DANGERROUS]
As if gravity (gravity) was nonexistent, you leaned at 45 degrees
A trick? Magic? ...an unblurred skill that you showed us
Your overwhelming performance was at a level that none, black or white, could attain. [We respect you!]
Nor one in which another could succeed your singing for all eternity. O-o-o, o-o-o
You didn't pick your audience; the immortal pop
Hey MAN IN THE MIRROR. rock the world
An encore that would never stop ringing.
Hey MAN IN THE MIRROR, rock the world
You are juss the only one
For some reason, the thing that always comes to my mind,
is the image of you, singing, dancing, and having fun with your brothers in your youth
[Sang"ABC" I WANT YOU BACK"]
And the reason you continued to stand on the stage?
"to make my family happy."
That might have, unexpectedly, been how it was.
Doesn't matter what you say or do
Doesn't matter what you say or do
Just your existance itself has become a symbol; a ledgend. [We respect you!]
One that will surely be handed down from generation to generation for eternity. O-o-o, o-o-o
Forever on our mind
Your overwhelming performance was at a level that none, black or white, could attain. [We respect you!]
Nor one in which another could succeed your singing for all eternity. O-o-o, o-o-o

An encore that would never stop ringing.
Hey MAN IN THE MIRROR, rock the world
You are always #1
Enjoy!
