He was a good man
when good men were few.
And he taught me
what only good men knew.
And he was humble
from the struggle of just
tryin' to get through.
And he was born to die,
but he's proud to live.
He was born to die,
but he's proud to live.

And he had silver hair,
the color silver that
lines the clouds.
And he said what he thought
needed to be said,
didn't eat until the
rest of us were fed.
And no, no he didn't
change the world,
but he sure changed mine.
And he was born to die,
but he's proud to live.
He was born to die,
but he's so proud to live.
Proud to live.
Proud to live.
Proud to live.

Are you proud to live?
Are you proud to live?
Are you proud to live?
Are you proud to live?
