Pain is temporary pride is forever

Light is dim, he hears nothing His adversary in the ring stands in front of him, Cold, tired and helpless he looks at him He doesn’t hear the people about him scream He is not about to give up, so wont his friend Pain is temporary pride is forever From up the crow’s-nest he sees a lighthouse shine He watches as the lights grow brighter, His ship takes in water like an empty bucket dipped in a pool He stays while his mates leave, he is not sure if he will make it But he won’t give up Pain is temporary pride is forever His gun feels heavy, his head drowsy He can’t see clearly, he knows not how many are still out there He is surrounded but he wont pull back he won’t give up Pain is temporary pride is forever When you feel like giving up, when you feel all is lost Look inside if you still have the strength to go on. Because the pain will subside, but it will hurt your pride Pain is temporary pride is forever
