"Stand by Me" sung by Muhammad Ali

 

He floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee

He was the legendary Muhammad Ali

the greatest boxer that ever fought

a humanitarian that not only taught

us all to dream and reach up high

but if life knocks you down then get up again and touch the sky

he never let illness get him down

he fought that fight bravely until the final round

he was a poet and campaigner for civil rights

he was an author and he even sang between his fights

he sang Stand by Me in 1963

I could listen to him sing that song endlessly

The world has lost an inspirational man

but his legacy will carry on

He was the greatest Champion

not just of boxing but of his fellow man.
