THE MEASURE OF A MAN SUNG BY ELTON JOHN [ROCKY V] YouTube - ELTON JOHN -



WHEN THE TRUMPETS BLOW STRONG

I hear
The echoes of a call
That once was loud
Now seems gone
Calling back
To be
Remembered.

Dare
I wake them up at all
Or should I keep them
Where they are
In
The Triumphs of the past
Where they're held
In Fond Remembrance?

Dare
I beckon to the call
Of The Trumpets
Blowing strongly
Calling back
For me to answer
Or can
I Reach where I was
Then
On top of it all?

Or will
I Fail and Lose it all
With
The Triumphs of before
Or be Remembered
For my Feats
Because
I Could not
Face Defeat?

What purpose
Do I serve?

In this Quest
For going on
To Come back
Once more
To Hear
The Trumpets
Blowing?

Will I
Serve it or myself?

For Do
I have
The Strength
I need
To overcome
All I must
Knowing
I Could Fail?

Most of all
To myself

Do
I have
The will in me
if
I answer
Yes,
Is it all
I need?

For what is it
That I want
To Prove myself
To Whom or What?

Written for And Dedicated to
Sugar Ray Leonard

The Greatness of Oneself
Is to Triumph over Evil
For Goodness is the Fight
You must Win
The Rounds are not Ten
It is Minutes to the End.


A Poet' Note

THE CROWN
Oh how I would love
To recover the crown
It's hard to regain
When
life is wearing it now.
