If truth be told I'm no crowned king,
No angel sent with feathered wings.
I'm no living saint with holy powers,
And my life grows shorter with every hour.
I'll never be that hero told in tales
Nor die that legend whom never failed.
If truth be told I'm just a man
With hands to catch my falls and feet to proudly stand.
