LAST MAN STANDING
I've seen the good and the bad
To the highest and lowest degree
I'll be the last man standing
That and this is my creed:
When everything is silent
I know that I won't be blind
I will be the sole survivor
Left on the island that is my mind
You may call it crazy
The only way that I can cope
Ask me why nothing seems to phase me
Because you see I'm hanging by a rope
For I've seen the good and the bad
To the highest and lowest degree
I'll be the last man standing
That and this is my creed:
When everything is silent
I know I won't be blind
I will be the sole survivor
Left on the island that is my mind
You may surround yourself with paupers
And hold your cane just like a king
Converse with those who know nothing
Yet have opinions on everything
Trade away your suit coat
It will no longer keep you warm
Just like you it's traveled many times
Become beaten, ripped and torn
(beaten, ripped and torn)
So you think you've felt pain?
Just change into a new pair of shoes
With everything that you've gained
You've got more than nothing to lose?
Think of the mountains you have climbed
And the rivers you managed to cross
Knowing that those who had it all
Still ended up being lost
I've seen the good and the bad
To the highest and lowest degree
I'll be the last man standing
That and this is my creed:
Even though it still amazes me
That I haven't yet lost hope
I'lll be the last man standing
On the last damn thing left afloat
I'lll be the last man standing
On the last damn thing left afloat
