A man who shone so brightly, lifted so many hearts, who provided a million dollar backbeat to so many hits before he took his mission West and forged in the Serpentine Fire of spiritual potential the greatest, most transcendent music machine to have walked this planet. Maybe it's easier to think of Maurice White as passed than waylaid by Parkinson's, his fire will burn ever brightly, for now and always.

Are you satisfied
In your life and time
Does it clear you mind
With all the hurt you find?
Built on Mother Earth
They were meant to stay
Nations bloom today
On gifts of yesterday
Born of the Earth, are nature's children
Fed by the Wind, the breath of life
Judged by the fiery hands of God
World goes by the hand
Of the master plan
Can't you understand
You're but a grain of sand
Do you need a guide
To make you feel satisfied?
Head to the sky
Will tell you why
Born of the Earth, are nature's children
Fed by the Wind, the breath of life
Judged by the fiery hands of God
