ON THE DAY OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED
HE MADE A PROMISE ON THAT DAY,
THAT HE WOULD LIFT OUR SUFFERING
AND TAKE OUR PAIN AWAY.

HE SENDS HIS ANGELS SEARCHING
AND WHEN THEIR FEET HAVE TOUCHED THE GROUND,
THEY CALL TO HIM IN HEAVEN
TO TELL HIM WHO THEY'VE FOUND.

THEY CALLED THE NAME OF MICHAEL
FOR HIS HEARTBREAK THEY COULD SEE,
THIS MAN WAS BORN ON THE 19TH OF JANUARY
IN THE YEAR OF '89.

OUR DEAR LORD KNEW WHO THIS MAN WAS
HE HAS SEEN THE TEARS HE'S CRIED,
HE WATCHED HIM WHEN HE WAS A CHILD
HOW HE LOVED TO BE OUTSIDE.

HE LOVED TO PLAY WITH THIS BROTHER AND SISTERS
HE LOVED TO MESS ABOUT AND JOKE
HE ALSO LOVED HIS WEE GREY TRACTOR WHICH HIS GRANDA HAD LEFT HIM
BUT MUST OF ALL HE LOVED HIS DOG ROVER

BUT THEN HIS LAUGHTER TURNED TO PAIN
GOD WENT TO HIM AND HELD HIS HAND
HE ASKED HIM WHAT WAS WRONG,
MICKY SAID HE COULDNT LIVE ON
AND FELT HE CAN'T GO ON.

GOD SAW SUCH PAIN INSIDE HIM
HE SAW HIS VACANT STARE,
HE KNEW HIS HEART DEEP IN HIS SOUL
WAS BROKE BEYOND REPAIR.

IF I TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN
WHEN YOUR LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN,
YOUR MUM DAD BROTHER AND SISTERS WILL FALL TO PIECES
THEY WILL LOSE A SON & BROTHER.

HE TOUCHED HIS EYES SO HE WOULD SLEEP
LIKE HE HAS FOR MANY OTHERS,
SO HE CAN TAKE HIM TO HIS HOME
WHERE HE CAN MEET HIS GRANNY AND GRANDAS

LAURA, SEAN AND LOUISE
YOUR GRANNY AND GRANDA'S WAIT ABOVE,
TO TAKE MICKY BENEATH THEIR WINGS
AND SMOTHER HIM WITH LOVE.


THESE WORDS HE SPOKE, I MUST REPEAT;

'DON'T CRY YOUR TIME WILL COME,
LOUISE NOW IVE GONE AWAY
PLEASE LOOK AFTER MUM.
LAURA YOUR MY SISTER
I'M SORRY WE HAD TO PART,
WE BOTH HAVE GOT OUR MEMORIES
WHICH WILL NEVER LEAVE OUR HEART.
MY BROTHER AND MY SISTERS
I WILL LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER,
AND ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE
GOD WILL BRING US BACK TOGETHER.
UNTIL THAT DAY PLEASE BE STRONG
I HAVE GONE THROUGH A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT,
I WILL GIVE YOU A KISS, WHICH YOU CANNOT FEEL
EVERY MORNING AND EVERY NIGHT'XX
