The Ghost of Terry Fox (Is Looking Down On Me Tonite)

The lights of Burnaby mountain
Are twinkling at me
Winking at me
Because they know
When I was young, I tried to fly on borrowed wings
I just didn't fit those things--
I belong below

Standing on the podium
Knowing what a fraud I am
Everyone could see it wasn't right
I could hear Doug and the Slugs all say
“It's too bad” but anyway
The ghost of Terry Fox is looking down on me tonight

I tried to redeem myself
Instead it seems, I just ream myself
Over and over again, no hope in sight
He was a true hero
I am just a--well, you know
The ghost of Terry Fox is looking down on me tonight

They say to yourself be true
But what's a man supposed to do?
How is hе supposed to win the fight?
When еveryone can clearly see
I'll never be the man I tried to be
The ghost of Terry Fox is looking down on me tonight
