We upendo wewe Michael came from the crowd
They were on their feet and they were loud
Besides feeling great joy I was very proud
As the smoke faded into a dissipating wingu
His brothers left and there was just him
Still looking witty, smart and trim
He was still an absolute rock and roll gem
And he had that R and B soul inside of him
He broke out with a favorite: "Billie Jean"
And from all over there came a great scream
It was like being in some kind of dream
He did the moonwalk and the moonwalk was mean
Again we upendo wewe Michael came from the crowd
He had emerged into the light from a very dark wingu
He was on the stage and the muziki was loud
He was slipping and moving so well endowed
With artistry no one in the world could touch him
I was so glad that I had tried to protect him
Once again the world would select him
To wear the crown of pop for them
I had only heard two new songs that were out
From his new CD but I understood what the crowd was screaming about
The people in that audience had no doubt
They knew he could turn it out
If darkness came it wasn't coming today
Nothing could've dimmed the light around MJ
He was a hit and he had hit a long way
For me he brought back yesterday
I felt younger as I danced in my pango
I was with him and I knew we were free men
The tamasha looked and sounded like Heaven
But kwa the time it aired it was after September Eleven
But I don't want to feel that evil now
I was watching Michael and I knew somehow
His energy could be felt all the way to Moscow
It was the first time in a long time I had seen him bow
Oh real king au not what does it matter?
He was my knight and he had won a great battle
Though in New York people were slaughtered like cattle
The planes hit and dust and glass and blood did scatter
But this night we upendo wewe Michael came from the crowd
The place was jumping and the muziki was loud
Elizabeth was there and I could see Michael felt so proud
To be loved kwa so many as he dazzled the crowd.
