You followed in Jordan's footsteps
Passed your torch to LeBron
For 20 years, you ruled the court
In a moment, you were gone
Gone too soon, says the world
Gone too soon, oh, it hurts
Tears are shed, while we mourn
As the tragedy hits home
Gone too soon is a husband
Gone too soon is a dad
Gone too soon is a champion
Whose legend will live on
18 times an All Star
Five rings upon your hand
I could picture your jump shot
Till the moment, you were gone
Gone too soon, says the world
Gone too soon, oh, it hurts
Tears are shed, while we mourn
As the tragedy hits home
Gone too soon is a husband
Gone too soon is a dad
Gone too soon is a champion
Whose legend will live on
You inspired a generation
Who grew up watching you play
Thoughts and prayers to Mamba
The Lord called you home, today
Gone too soon, says the world
Gone too soon, oh, it hurts
Tears are shed, while we mourn
As the tragedy hits home
Gone too soon is a husband
Gone too soon is a dad
Gone too soon is a Laker
Whose legend will live on
Rest in Peace, Kobe
