To the Better Man
ARZ: To the Better Man lyrics
He’s the guy that never got picked
Always on the losing team
Look in your high school year book
Good luck finding a picture of him with me
He was a champion
A man of means, a man of steel
He was our guardian
He made it safe for me and you.
Young toughs beat him up back then
He didn’t have the strength to meet them head on
Kids in the hallways mocked his stride
He hoped his life wouldn’t last long
He was a champion
A man of means, a man of steel
He was our guardian
He made it safe for me and you
Life is different now
Drink a toast with me, give a nod to the better man
Life is different now
Stand aside and bow in shame to the better man
That last day he took my hand and said to me,
“Friend, I must be moving on”
A shadow dark and deep crossed his face
A wistful smile, he said, “so long”
He was a champion
A man of means, a man of steel.
He was our guardian
He made it safe for me and you
Life is different now
Drink a toast with me, give a nod to the better man
Life is different now
Stand aside and bow in shame to the better man
He was a champion
A man of means, a man of steel.
He was our guardian
He made it safe..
..for me and you
