about

Featuring Alex Lifeson of Rush

lyrics

Once I was tall, straight and kind
Like a man that still believes in heaven
Once I was full of luck
And all the dice I ever rolled came up seven
But in the end all the big men are broken

Once I was full of love and hope
And the strength that comes from “together”
Once I was so powerful and sure
That all of this would be forever
But in the end all big men are broken
I once was a warrior

Once I was a trusted man with no
promises unbroken
Once I was not alone, not unloved
Not bathed in apologies unspoken
But in the end all the good men are broken
I once was a warrior

Once I was
Once I was drowned in the echoes
Of all of our words unspoken
But in the end both of us were broken
I once was a warrior
