I was in the 3rd grade on a yellow bussmaller than most but I was still toughhad a backpack of books and my lunch in a brown paper bagjimmy rowe was from the other side of townwore a black bandanna cap turned 'roundeverybody knew not to get in jimmy's way10 stops later jimmy got on the bushe wanted my seat but I didn't budgeso he took my lunch and threw my books on the flooreverybody laughed but I didn't crycould of landed a punch didn't even tryI just let him walk away without a fight
sometimes the bigger man steps asidegives some ground but keeps his pridemight lose the battle but win the warcause he knows what he's fighting forjimmy rowe ain't worth your timethe tables will turn as time goes byat 10 years old I hope you'll understandit's more important in life to be the bigger man
I grew up fast in my high school daysyears passed by like a speeding trainsigned up with the army just like my old manfirst day of camp couldn't believejimmy rowe standing across from mebuilt like a tank with a wicked look in his eyes
sometimes the bigger man steps asidegives some ground but keeps his pridemight lose the battle but win the warcause he knows what he's fightin' forjimmy rowe can't you see I am not your enemyI pray someday that you will understandit's more important in life to be the bigger man
we got called late that fall to serve on the frontlinewhen a sneak attack behind our back took us by surprisewhen I came to I heard the news that everyone was safe except one fallen hero who dove on that grenade
it was a bigger man who stepped asidesacrificing his own lifea purple heart for braveryis my friend jimmy's legacylosing battles winning warsknowing what your fighting forlike my father said when I was 10it's more important in life to be the bigger man
