A loss of a legend is so hard to understand
Why would He take such a strong, young man?
This legend set records & broke them, along with the rules
He made many respect him and many to lose their cool
They say, "You either loved him or hated him", but I know that's a lie
Even though he infuriated us from time to time
We all loved and honored the black, red, & white
And now we will mourn him after his last race last night
Irony surrounds only the great ones, you may've observed
Who would have guessed the irony that would occur?
The place he conquered in nineteen ninety eight
Would be the place that God would seal his fate
By "great ones" I don't mean just a great driver
I mean a great father, a husband, and a lifetime survivor
He has left a legacy that will live in us forever
That is why we must honor him as one family - together
If you didn't know him
You can learn a lot from his name
He EARNed all he achieved and his HEART made racing
A phenomenon, not a game
When God calls us up to the heavens in the sky
Look for him there with a twinkle in his eye
He'll have that # 3 placed upon his back
Racing with the angels - the leader of the pack
