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?
