I was just a boy with a Bible in hands
Knockin' on doors, tryin' to understand
They saw the fame, but not the flame
I was speakin' love in Jehovah's name

I moonwalked through a world of noise
Tried to bring hope to girls and boys
They saw the glove, the hat, the fame
But I was dreamin' of a better place

They saw my smile but never my soul
A fragile heart facing the world
I prayed each night for peace to reign
A world without the hurt and pain

I wasn't perfect, but I believed
That love would be my legacy
This isn't the end, no, it's the start
I'm comin' back with a brand-new heart

I'll dance again, just wait and see
On paradise, I'll be set free
No more tears, no disguises
Only love under endless skies

I'll sing again, and feel the Sun
Where pain and shadows come undone
I believed, I still belong
I'll live again, just like my songs

Ooh, I'm not gone just wait for me
I'll moonwalk into eternity
Ooh, can't you feel?
It's not the end, I'll dance again

I told the world to heal the pain
To look at the man in the mirror again
They called me strange, they called me lost
But I held my faith, no matter the cost

I spoke of peace in every show
I dreamed of lions walking slow
With lambs beside, in fields of green
A world of love yet to be seen

They saw my smile but never my soul
A fragile heart facing the world
I prayed each night for peace to reign
A world without the hurt and pain

I wasn't perfect, but I believed
That love would be my legacy
This isn't the end, no, it's the start
I'm comin' back with a brand-new heart

I'll dance again, just wait and see
On paradise, I'll be set free
No more tears, no disguises
Only love under endless skies

I'll sing again, and feel the Sun
Where pain and shadows come undone
I believed, I still belong
I'll live again, just like my songs

Ooh, C'mon Slash
I'm not gone
I'm not gone

I'll run with lions through open fields
No fear, no fences, no need for shields
I'll teach an elephant the moonwalk right
He'll glide beside me in the morning light

We'll laugh beneath a kingdom sky
Where no one ever says goodbye
And if you wonder where I've been
Just follow the beat who sets me free

I'll dance again, just wait and see
On paradise, I'll be set free
No more pain, no more cries
Beneath kingdom skies

I'm not gone
I'm not gone
