People Like You
(From a song by Sy Kahn)
 
Old fighter you sure took it on the chin
Where'd you ever get the strength to stand?  
Never giving up or giving in
You know I just want to shake your hand
 
And say that
People like you help people like me go on, go on
People like you help people like me go on
 
Old battler with a scar for every town
Thought you were no better than the rest  
You wore your colors every way but down
All you ever gave us was your best
 
And you know that
People like you help people like me go on, go on
People like you help people like me go on
 
Old dreamer with a world in every thought
Where'd you get the vision to keep on?
You sure gave back as good as what you got
I hope that when my time is almost gone
 
They'll say that
People like me help people like you go on, go on
Because people like you help people like me go on.
