Brother, believe me
I know that it's hard sometimes
The bloody noses, blackened eyes
But God I love the way you try, and try, and try again
These people they don't know the weight of dreams
How hard and lonely it can be
To carry that flame honestly
To keep from going dim
And I don't know how long it takes to get to where we're going
I don't know if we arrive
Me I don't know much of anything but thanks for showing
That you're not afraid to try
And when you feel like giving up
And when it all feels like too much
Brother, you took that weight and carried it on
So if they want to, let them talk
That's how you know they've never walked
Inside this ring and stood up tall
To go a couple rounds
I wish I knew if you'd catch all your dreams
And finally feel finality
But deep down, man, I think we're just swinging
Til we're in the ground
And I don't know how long it takes to get to where we're going
I don't know if we arrive
Well me I don't know much of anything but thanks for showing
That you're not afraid to try
