My Last Goodbye
The sights I've seen and the fights that there's been,
And now I can't believe what I am seeing.
After so much pain and so much gain,
This wild dog now admits it's finally been tamed.
I can recall standing so proudly and defiant,
Just a small man against an evil twisted giant.
But soon more came and at least it did look to me,
That a new dawn was coming, the dawn of the free.
Drowning in the tears of this dying race,
I take a final look around this glorious place.
Now my last goodbye as I turn and walk away,
I did the best I could but I couldn�t save the day.
Victory after victory that�s how our river flows,
But one day a battle�s lost, that�s how this story goes.
And I watched the heads go down, friends turn and walk away,
And I watched a darkened cloud descend upon our day.
So now I�m standing all alone and I am wondering why,
So many of our kind can watch our nation die.
Now I'll roam forever sad and so ashamed,
And the honest truth is, we are all to blame.
