Boxing

Like a thousand fish moving together, swimming as a team

Like a thousand bees taking care of the queen

Like a thousand soldiers dying for nothing, they seem so keen

To leave their blood in all the fields they have been

Like people praying each in their own way

Wanting to know how to make it through the day

Like people giving to those in want of love

Expecting the same but not getting enough

He didn't need to believe that we are not running alone

Nor to believe in something nor to believe in someone

He used to say when he was in the middle of a crowd

He didn't know why he always needed to get out

Like a thousand ants marching along their well trodden path

Like a thousand birds heading down to the south

Like a thousand kids all in the street boxing with life

The gloves are off and all is strife

Like people praying each in her own way

Wanting to know how to make it through the day

Like people giving to those in want of love

Expecting the same but not getting enough
