For Macarldie
A smile as big as a mile
A smile as big as a mile
A smile as big as a mile
Is what i see
When I think of my brother Macarldie
Always an encouraging word
Always an encouraging word
Always an encouraging word
Is what I heard
when I talked with my brother Macarldie
Tall. black, and proud,
I call your name out loud
"Macarldie", musical warrior, son of Africa, child of Light!
Your spiritual wings have just begun to take flight
To the highest of heights
To spread your love across the heavens
So that it may rain down upon us as tears of joy
He left us too soon, some will say
But destiny had her way
And now he has to play his music in the spiritual sky
Where it will fly on angels wings
As he sings of peace, joy and unity
Yes, we'll miss you in the community
But we'll never forget what you gave us
Through your hands on the piano
Your lyrics of wisdom
Your melodies on the steel pan
Man, you were awesome!
And I'll think of you often
And remember how you shined your light, so bright
For alll to see
Now you're free
Free to spread your energy endlessly
Throughout the universe!
May your memory live long
May your songs live on
My strong, beautiful black brother of the Sun
Your next life has just begun!............
