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
