A New Star Is Born Feat. Tangi Forman Lyrics

I believe when someone passes away

Either a star is born, energy so pure

That it creates new worlds

Or as the soul releases

Shatters into pieces

Becoming free flowing thoughts

For my mental thesis

Maybe we just don't understand

The spirits that still walk the land

Or whatever the case

I believe that we all still remain

To share the same space



So dad, I know you're listenin'

How you been?

Oh, I'm doin' fine, just passin' time

Submerged in sin sometimes I take a bath

And just get all dirty again

I try to cleanse my mind, cleanse my soul and get in

Into that place you've been

No, I'm not tryin' to rush anything

I just wanna visit you because I miss you

So what you tryin' to say?

My imagination been wild since I been a child

And since you're laughin' then

I take it that good things are happenin'



The day I learned you were gone

A new star was born

Distant voices fill my mind

Said look up in the sky

And when I did there you were



Well, I'm sure you already know this

I'm a big pop star

And my pops is a star (ha ha)

No, you really are

Sometimes I feel like an anus

I kinda made you a little famous

Always spillin' my guts

Explainin' to these people who think I'm nuts

Told them how you and moms knuckled up

My excuse for being such a disrupt

Yeah, they sure did

They called you an abusive drunk

Sorry, I didn't realize the media would run with it

But now I know and sometimes I try to have fun with it



The day I learned you were gone

A new star was born

Distant voices fill my mind

Said look up in the sky

And when I did there you were



What did you say you wish to be free

Been here all this time because of me

And on August 16, 2001

Anything that I wish to release

Release? I see.

First of all I give you my thanks for preparing me

To be open and free

I release my mind releasin' my soul

Release the courage to break the mold

Release my record 20 million sold

Release my pops you're free to go

Create a new galaxy, yes dad

You'll still be right next to me



The day I learned you were gone

A new star was born

Distant voices fill my mind

Said look up in the sky

And when I did there you were



The day I learned you were gone

A new star was born

Distant voices fill my mind

Said look up in the sky

And when I did there you were
