Lyrics
Heart of a Wrestler who Never Submits An old man pushing a trolley and an old lady, Passes by he hasn’t seen in so long, Tryna keep pace with the crowd in their throngs The rotating doors will move them on and on. And his thoughts are sincere he looks away, From the dazzling glare of cars and their owners’ smiles He dreams of the girl he walked with as a child Holding hands in countryside for miles and miles And these are the eyes that an old Picasso longed for To see the world once again like a child. And his paintings framed in a brass prison cell They stare into the eyes of the rich, and their personal hell. But remember, its only art, Remember, its only art. ____ And he looks for the ounce of grace We've come to know as weakness Looks for a friendly face, And we just look beneath us But what’s the difference Between the old man and the genius That always lives unseen, While we live lives that defeat us _____ DZZ E OH E! huddled together With salt on our skin But this endless ocean Can’t water the dessert within And when I look up I feel my eyes sting The shadow of your arm Touches my skin ______ You've taken some heavy hits in your time, you been in some fierce grips But ya got the heart of a wrestler, The heart of a wrestler, The heart of a wrestler, Who never submits. And each beam of lights a straw on the lips of each man you hate Locked in the eyes of each young man who's fathers upped and went away And he left his young son to grow up in a mist and his young son stands clenched fist I've got the heart of a wrestle I've got the heart of a wrestle I've got the heart of a wrestle And I never submit And he’s desperately missed, desperately missed, standing alone in the mist But the heart of a wrestler The heart of a wrestler The heart of a wrestler Will never submit. You've taken some heavy hits in your time, you been in some fierce grips but you've the heart of a wrestlr heart of a wrestlr heart of a wrestlr who never submits
