Michael
©1998 Richard March

Say hey Michael, why you act that way?
All that drama got the other kids looking your way.
I wanna stop and say you're doing all right
But when I turn around I can see your smile's too tight
I wanna say you're doing ok
But when I turn around, it's an angry face.

Say hey Michael, can you sleep at night?
Do you toss and turn 'til you're tangled tight?
I wish for you a soft dream cloud
Where breathing's easy and the love is loud
I wish for you a second sight
Turn those spiteful sparks into firelight

It's all right Michael, go ahead and yell
Run to the top of your tower and ring that bell
And when I see you shine so bright
I'll hide my eyes from your glorious light
Half a chance and you might live to tell
You turned your siren seas into wishing wells

Michael, you got fire to burn
Oh Michael, It's your turn.
