• In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair,
  Will you still care? Will you be there?
  In my trials and my tribulations,
  Through our doubts and frustrations,
  In my violence and my turbulence,
  Through my fear and my confessions,
  And my anguish and my pain,
  Through my joy and my sorrow,
  In the promise of another tomorrow,
  I'll never let you part,
  For you're always in my heart.

  Michael Jackson
