A very pleasant good evening
ladies and gentlemen
It is now time
for the one and only
There never will be another
Christina Aguilera
That's how music
should sound
I've waited for some time
To get inside the minds
Of every legend
I've ever wanted
to stand beside
It's like a endless ride
Feeling the lows and highs
Of every lyric and melody
every single rhyme
So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me
who laid it down and
paved the way
And so to god I pray
That he will
give me strength
To carry forward
the gift of song
in his good faith
In his good faith
I'm going back to basics
To where it all began
I'm ready now to face it
I wanna understand
What made the soul singers
And the blues figures yeah
That inspired
a higher generation
The jazz makers
And the ground breakers
They gave so much
of themselves in dedication
So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me
who laid it down and
paved the way
