Muhammad Ali

He was the butterfly That stung like a bee He was not one you could pacify His name was Muhammad Ali He was filled with a spirit of integrity That he’d sacrifice his livelihood Stood up to the powers that be Educating those for the common good He was a beautiful sight to see The ring was his form of expression The place where he was totally free Paid millions for his aggression Confidence exuded from his soul Being the greatest is what we all believed He was one who always seem in control Because greatness is what he achieved Traveling the world inspiring others Brought hope as well in many places Touching the heart of our sisters and brothers You could see a light in their faces Now as we honor the man in this hour His flamboyance and confidence was key No other will grace us with such power There will never be another Muhammad Ali
