All That Because of Glory

I remember the old you sitting next to me
You were innocent yet well determined
Those eyes were hungry to learn
I could feel the passion deep inside
Day by day, you learned from me
Became a man who you always wanted to be
Felt proud to see you grow 
Wearing honor on your waist
But more than that was the glory 
A triumph that you never dreamed of
Those medals hanging on your neck
The claps of a happy crowd
All that was because of me
I was part of everything
I was part of your victory
Then suddenly, you changed
You were no longer the man I used to know
Determination wasn’t there
The passion slowly fades
Because you were already drowned
Overwhelmed and too proud
To be the best man in the ring
The trace of humility vanished
Forget who you really are
But bear in your mind
You could fly high as eagle
Reach the peak of the sky
But when you’ll lose your wings
Your dreams are going to die
