a song about boxers and my neighbor, Charlie Brown, in Brewerytown, Philadelphia
lyrics
light weight champion
for two glorious weeks
two weeks quietly
slips into 30 years
when you’re out of fight
the world has turned its eye away
i’m running
my feet pound the dirt on the trail
this is the part in my own feel good movie
when scene cuts to scene cuts to scene
the hardest part
is doing it all over again
the hardest part
is doing it
every small victory
is cause to celebrate
beating your body,
your home, your fears
kids train to fight
the world has turned its eye away
i’m running
my feet pound the dirt on the trail
this is the part in my own feel good movie
when scene cuts to scene cuts to scene
the hardest part
is doing it all over again
the hardest part
is doing it
