Seven Wonders (Requiem For Andre The Giant)

lyrics

"Seven Wonders (Requiem for Andre the Giant)"
Delaney

From the sweaty halls of some convention center
You'd duck the doorframe as you would enter
And the crowd would go insane
As I waved a homemade sign
And called your name

And I've got a crumpled photograph
Wish a smudge that was your autograph
Should've taken care back then
Still it's a treasure cause you held it in your hands
Your big, giant hands

Heroes rise
And heroes fall
World has room for seven wonders
And that's all

Fifteen years undefeated streak
And you kept it up til Wrestlemania III
We all saw what happened there
Ninety-three thousand out their chairs
As the giant goes down

Heroes rise
And heroes fall
World has room for seven wonders
And that's all

From the scenic Alps of Grenoble, France
To the USA with Vince McMahon
And across the world for New Japan
To umemployed
Unemployed in Greenland

Spent my childhood wishing I could be like you
But looking back, I believe it's the truth
There were times you wished you were like me
As you crammed yourself into and airline seat
The giant's headed home

Heroes rise
And heroes fall
World has room for seven wonders
And that's all
That's all
That's all
