Michael

Michael, you've always had that gentle soul

When the days get heavy, you keep me whole

You always find a way to make me laugh out loud

Even when my mind is in a heavy cloud

I've watched you stumble, but you always rise

Overcoming every hurdle right before my eyes

Your kindness is the anchor that holds me tight

You always show me how to make the wrongs turn right

But I've made my own mistakes, and I'm so sorry, baby

I know I caused you pain, and now my heart is breaking

I'm asking for your mercy, asking for your grace

I want to put the light back upon your face

Please forgive me, Michael, let the past be gone

Take my hand in yours, and let us just move on

I think about the hospital when our kids arrived

The deepest kind of love I've ever felt inside

I still see the wonder shining in your eyes

When you found out we were having boys, that sweet surprise

You're such a loving father, the center of their world

Watching you guide them as their lives unfold

You give them your heart, you give them your all

You're always right there to catch them when they fall

You learned from your missteps, and I can learn from mine

If we give it patience, if we give it time

I'm laying my pride down right here at your feet

Without you, my Michael, my life's incomplete

Let's leave the hurt behind us, let the healing start

I'm trusting my future to your forgiving heart

'Cause I've made my own mistakes, and I'm so sorry, baby

I know I caused you pain, and now my heart is breaking

I'm asking for your mercy, asking for your grace

I want to put the light back upon your face

Please forgive me, Michael, let the past be gone

Take my hand in yours, and let us just move on
