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
