Heavenly Father; thank You for all You’ve done for me - how You’ve loved me and thought of me before I even knew You – How You’ve blessed me and given me life – You’ve given me Your Holy Spirit – You call me Your own – You hear me when I pray – You put Your love within my heart – You make my life complete - Thank You Lord Jesus for saving me - Thank You for giving Your life so I may live
“I would like to live forever,” says Michael Jackson.
In the emotional ballad Advertising Space, Robbie Williams was singing about The King, Elvis Presley. However, its sentiments ring remarkably true to that of the late Michael Jackson, the indisputable King of Pop. Although Michael was never much of an Elvis fan, he commented on the superstars tragic downfall and feared he was destined to follow a similar path. The relevance of the lyrics to MJs amazing, yet turbulent, life are impossible to ignore.
There’s no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you
Waiting for God to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Say somethin’
There’s no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
They’re still fighting over
Everything you left
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
And
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that’s left in any case
Is Advertising space
Through your eyes
The world was burning
Please be gentle
I’m still learning
You seemed to say
As you kept turning up
They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
Everybody loves your life
But you ahahh
Special agent for the man
Through watergate and vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Did you think the CIA did
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
And
No one learned from your mistake
We let our profits go to waste
All that’s left in any case
Is Advertising space ooooohh
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space
No one learned from your mistakes
We let our profits go to waste
All that’s left in any case
Is Advertising space
I’ve seen your daughter
Man shes cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you.
Still, the way Elvis destroyed himself interests me, because I dont ever want to walk those grounds myself from Michaels Jacksons 1988 autobiography, Moonwalker.

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never, ever walk alone.
For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
So we may boldly say:
“The LORD is my Helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
“[Mary's Song] And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name.”
