Few have had the life you've known,
The tainted soil from which you've grown,
The things your eyes have since been shown,
The hell to which your soul was thrown.

None could now be who your are,
Without each deep and painful scar,
Yet still your eyes gleam like a star,
Despite all that has been so far.  

For all the years that have gone by,
With every tear you've dared to cry,
Through each new road you've had to try,
Your heart at last has reached the sky.

And here you stand for all to see,
The master of your destiny,
A hero for the world and me,
Remembered for eternity.
