In salute to a great inspiration

Today we learnt of the death of Michael Jackson, and while we were and continue to be awed by his slick dance moves it was more often his brilliant and powerful lyrics that has left a greater mark on each of us.

Here's 'Man in the Mirror', for all you who at one point or another was touched by this song.

Man in the Mirror - lyrics

RIP MJ.
Your music was a great inspiration to many, and will continue to be always.
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference,
Gonna make it right.
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change.

Extremely heartbreaking the day has been!
A great man, whos ripples enough to reached the entire globe had departed...may he rest in peace, and his memories in our hearts.

The King of Pop Will Be remembered!!

It's so sad to lose a person as talented as MJ.

The song 'man in the mirror' is one of the songs which tells us that in order to change we have to change ourselves first.

The late MJ had indeed changed the world in terms of this music genre.

May his soul rest in peace.
