In a clearing stands a boxer
and a fighter by his trade,
and he carries the reminders
of every glove that laid him down
or cut him, till he cried out
in his anger and his pain,
'I am leaving, I am leaving.'
But the fighter still remains.

Lai la lai, lai la lai lai lai la lai,
Lai la lai, lai la lai lai lai lai lai,
Lai la lai lai lai.

- last verse of The Boxer, Simon & Garfunkel
