Saints Are Born and Not Made
Ali once said that he lived the life of 100 men.
I can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
Once upon a time,
I wrestled an alligator and tackled a polar bear.
Still, I accomplished all that
in broad daylight on top of the Himalayas mountains.
While I rumbled with the mighty lion in the African jungle.
Lord, I'm so fast and pretty and I cannot be stopped.
I can stick and move, as I dance on my feet.
So, just watch me do my Ali Shuffle
As I knock you out in round number 3
Man, nothing can stop me,
not even a gorilla, not even a fast freight train!
I can't be moved because I am a mountain.
Because I am the greatest of all times
Yes, I am the greatest champion of the world.
Still, I have been blessed by almighty God.
While I am in the boxing ring,
I pray to God for peace and strength to be victorious.
Ali will always be my hero,
Yes, he is the greatest heavyweight champion of the world,
Muhammad Ali
Because we know saints are born and not made
Lord, he shook up the world with his lightning-quick hand speed and dancing feet.
Unfortunately, Muhammad Ali departed from this world, thus he died at the age of 74.
