Michael

From the quiet of a Monday morning

To the Saturdays we spent just kicking back

You always kept the gratitude pouring

Kept my heart and my spirit on the track

You’re the definition of a loving man

Always reaching out a steady hand

When I look at you, I see the truth

The one who gave his all to guide my youth

I love you, Pops, I need you to feel

The depth of this love, 'cause it's so surreal

Whatever the mountain, whatever the deal

We're gonna get through this for real

Yeah, we're gonna get through this for real

Looking back at every birthday candle blown

Every vacation where the seeds of love were sown

You showed me what it means to be courageous

Through every chapter, through all of the stages

Michael, my father, my guiding star

I'm so proud of exactly who you are

You taught me how to walk through the fire

Now it's my turn to lift you higher

I love you, Pops, I need you to feel

The depth of this love, 'cause it's so surreal

Whatever the mountain, whatever the deal

We're gonna get through this for real

Yeah, we're gonna get through this for real

Now the season is shifting, the water is deep

But I've got the promises that we're gonna keep

You held me up when I was just a kid

Now I'm standing by you, just like you did

Take a breath, lean your weight on my shoulder

The bond that we have only gets stronger and bolder

I love you, Pops, I need you to feel

The depth of this love, 'cause it's so surreal

Whatever the mountain, whatever the deal

We're gonna get through this for real

Yeah, we're gonna get through this for real

I love you, Pops

We're gonna get through this for real
