Written by Dave Palumbo
Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
There'll never be another
Like Muhammad Ali.
I never met him.
He's a ghost in my life.
But he touched me
In times of tremendous strife
He fought in the ring
But protested a war.
He refused to kill;
That would become his lore
When he announced the fight
Where he would fight the best.
They said he would lose
Just like the rest.
His heart and his mind
Never doubted the rumble.
And he fought to victory
In the heart of the jungle
Now when I think
I simply can't win.
I think of how Ali
Came up with the win
And then I float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
With the powerful spirit
Of Muhammad Ali.
