A message that reflects James’ spirit and the way he lived his life:
“If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
‘Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn’t be the same
‘Cause I’m free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change!”
