Closer seems farther
So increase the effort
But lose respect
Try to be good
But wear the shame
Humble myself
To become a king
Lose my life
And gain creation
Pour out my soul
To be filled with pain
Transform my hate
To endless fame
Break the rules
To save a man
Be nothing to them
But something to him
Be ready to die
Be ready to live
Stay willing to work
And willing to give
But never claim victory
Never take what is his
