Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, they say people come, say people go
These particular diamonds, were extra special
And though, you might be gone, the world may not know
Still I see you, celestial
And I should, but I can't let you go
[Verse 2]
But when I'm cold, cold
Yeah, but when I'm cold, cold
There's a light that you give me
When I'm in shadow
There's a feeling within me, of everglow
[Verse 3]
Like brothers in blood, or sisters who ride
Yeah, we swore on that night, we'd be friends 'til we die
But the changing of winds, and the way waters flow
Life is short as the falling of snow
And now, I'm gonna miss you, I know
[Verse 4]
But when I'm cold, cold
In water rolled, salt
I know you're always with me, and the waiting will show
You're with me, wherever I go
But you give me this feeling, this everglow
[Verse 5]
What I wouldn't give for just a moment to hold
Because I live for this feeling, this everglow
[Verse 6]
So if you love someone, you should let them know
Oh, the light that you give me, will everglow
[Verse 7]
(God is watching me
God is, God don't praise me because I beat Joe Frazier
God don't give nothing about Joe Fraizer
God don't care about England or America, as far as real wealth
It's all His, He wants to know, how do we treat each other?
So I'm gonna dedicate my life to using my name and popularity
To helping charities, helping people, uniting people, bring
People bombing each other, because of religious beliefs
We need somebody in the world, to help us all make peace
So when I die, if there's a heaven, I wanna see it)
