I held arms and took to the battlefield I was a coward but you gave me a courageous build How do you expect me to feel When you say you're bowing out besides getting chilled? You had the spirit that could kindle flame till the end You had the will to move mountains my friend I know I might have had it cross the line, my pawn But how could I see a line on the sand when by the wind it was blown? I don't know why It's a big deal for you to surrender To me you've always been the game changer Who'll teach us where and when to break the rules? When you're gone who'll hold our fingers and help us with the tools? It's a war you readily started because you knew you could face it Watching you cry on was an encouraging feeling, we had it We loved us, nothing else mattered when you was the king It was one way, one people, one motto, we was one thing. You can't step out of the ring however extreme the May weather However chilling it may be, It's always warm with inspiration when we're together Put on your man pants, man up and get back into the game It's you who told us we're all in a game but not everyone's rules are the same I ain't trying to aim fatal arrows of blame at you All I'm saying is we was all strong under the flagship of your name, And captain, we miss you
