Lyrics

In the silence I hear you beating drum in the night
Moments frozen in echoes where the world felt right

Michael you were the heartbeat the pulse of our youth
Chasing dreams under starlight lost in the truth
Every note you played painted colors in the sky
Now the stage feels empty and I’m left asking why

You lived life louder a rhythm that could break
But fate had other plans and my world felt the quake

And it’s hard to breathe without your sound my friend
Shouting to the stars wishing it wouldn’t end
Life was just a canvas you painted it so bright
Michael take a bow we’re fighting through the night

We were kids full of fire losing track of time
your laughter in the rhythm a heart locked in a rhyme
Remember the way you’d smile every joke every song
Now it feel like the world is somehow all wrong

Every broken drumbeat is a sign of who you were
A silent prayer for peace that’s what we’ll endure
We wear the scars of memory while the world keeps spinning fast
A tribute to your spirit in every not that lasts

And it’s hard to breathe without your sound my friend
Shouting to the stars wishing it wouldn’t end
Life was just a canvas you painted it so bright
Michael take a bow we’re fighting through the night

The drumsticks left behind rest softly in the light
But in every whispered memory you’re the plus of my fight
We’ll meet again in rhythms were shadows never lie
Until then dear Michael it’s you and I up high

So here’s to you dear friend the drummer of our days
Shining in the silence in so many ways
Your spirit lives forever in the songs that we will play
Michael in my heart you’ll never fade away
