This is for my people's
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
(No, no, no)
Momma's, daddy's
Sister's, brother's
Friends, and cousins
This is for my people's
Who lost
Their grandmothers
Lift your head to
The the sky
Cause we will never
Say bye

As a child
There were them times
I didn't get it
But you kept me in line
I didn't know
Why you didn't show up
Sometimes
On Sunday mornings
And I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All grown folk things
Seperation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show it
Caused you loved me
And obviously
There's so much more to say
If you were
With me today
Face to face

I never knew
I can hurt like this
And everyday
Life rolls on
I wish I can talk to you
For a while
Miss you but
Not to cry
As time goes bye

And It's true
You reached
A better place
Still I'd give
The world
To see your face
and right here
Next to you
Now the hardest thing
To do is say
Bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye

And you never
Got a chance to see
How good I've done
And you never
Got to see me
Back at number one
I wish that you was here
To celebrate together
I wish that we can spend
The holidays together
I remember when you use
To tuck me in at night
Or the teddy bear u give me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You make it through whatever
It's so hard to except
The fact you gone forever

I never knew
I can hurt like this
And everyday
Life rolls on
I wish I can talk to you
For a while
Miss you but
Not to cry
As time goes by

And It's true
You reached
A better place
And I'd still give
The world
Is in your face
and be right here
Next to you
Now the hardest thing
To do is say
Bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye

This is for my people's
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man, or your lady
Put you hand way up high
You will never say bye
(No, no, no)
Momma's, daddy's
Sister's, brother's
Friends, and cousins
This is for my people's
Who lost their
Grandmother's
Lift your head
To the sky
Cause we will never
Say bye

I never knew
I can hurt like this
(I never knew it)
And everyday
(Everyday I wish that I)
Life goes on like this
(I wish, I wish)
I wish I can talk to you
For a while
(I wish)
Miss you but
Not to cry

Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world
To see your face
And me right here
Next to you

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
So come on
Somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high

Cause this is
For my peoples that
Just lost somebody
This is for everybody
Just lift your head
To the sky
Cause we will never
Say bye-bye
