Okay i've been meaning to post this for a long time. There's a local rock/pop group that I've been following for a while called the Lovehammers (lead by Marty Casey, simi finalist on the show Rock Star:INXS way back some years ago). A week after Michael's death I went to see their live show (for the 3rd time i think), and they performed their new songs from their album called Heavy Crown. The title track... was performed and I cried serious tears hearing it preformed live after Michael's death. It encompasses ALL that I feel about MJ right now. And it was JUST COINCIDENCE that the Lovehammers made a song like this at that time. So I'd thought i share it with you guys.

My dedication to Michael, every time I hear it.

(note, the lyrics might be a bit out of order)

Heavy Crown

What keeps you hanging on?
When the end is near?
I see that look in your eyes
You have no fear

Where do you find the strength?
How do you carry on?
Even heroes fall
On a road this long

There will come a day
when you will settle down
Rest you head, lay down your heavy crown
So, it's easier this way
Walk into the light
It will be okay

There will come a day
We will reunite
I will make you proud
By the way I live my life

So now its time for you to pass it down
Rest your head, I'll wear your heavy crown
So, it's easier this way
Walk into the light
It will be okay

And you know
What you mean to me
Our love will never die
You're a part of me

All this time I saw the truth in your eyes
And now it's time, time to let go

Fall upon my knees and begin to pray
Close your eyes and slowly slip away
Away
