Keni Thomas - Not Me lyrics

No one raised their hand that day When they asked for volunteers He got picked out by default He was the only daddy there They said we know what your thinking Choose some else instead But this league was built on coaches Who stood right there and said Not me, not me No way with this job of mine I could never find the time Not me, not me The world becomes a better place When someone stands and leads the way Steps forward when they?d rather say not me The judge says you?re the oldest Makes you the legal guardian I?m sorry how you lost your folks But there?s no next of kin Two brothers and a sister She knew how hard that it would be But she softly said ?I?ll raise them? While the voice inside her screamed Not me, not me I can?t believe what?s happened This isn?t how it?s supposed to be Not me, not me But this world becomes a better place When someone stands and leads the way Steps forward when they?d rather say not me A young captain at attention A star pinned on his chest He recalls the battle While the final roll call?s read They were the finest soldiers It was my privilege to lead They deserve the medals The men who died Not me Not me, not me I just did what I was called to do You?d do the same if it was you Not me, not me But this world becomes a better place When some one stands and leads the way Steps forward when they?d rather say not me Yea, steps forward when they?d rather say not me Mmmm, not me Not me
