No, I Am...




I am the strongest man alive
That might sound like idle boasting, but I have no need to lie
I have lived through storms and tempest not another soul survived
I am the strongest man alive

I have carried burdens heavier than human tongue can tell
I’ve travelled distances untold, been forth and back through Hell
I’ve endured the very worst that man and nature could provide
I am the strongest man alive

I have fought in many battles, though I have not won them all
It’s a miracle this bruised and battered body breathes at all,
Oh they say a cat has nine lives, well I’ve lived through four or five,
I am the strongest man alive

I have cheated death a thousand times, that foul and greedy thief,
But I’ve buried many comrades, which has brought me endless grief,
I alone live on while all around my friends and loved ones die
I am the strongest man alive

It’s the mental anguish that’s the worst of all the pain I’ve had
Where other men have gone insane, I’m only slightly mad
And still I bleed I breath I weep through times I’ve wished to die
I am the strongest man alive

Although I am earth’s strongest man, I’m not immune to death
There’s a motive for each motion, a purpose for each breath
For without your true and lasting love I would not,
Could not
Survive
Although I am the strongest man alive
