The days of a champion
Are numbered it seems
The days of a champion
Now the cameras burn hot
The days of a champion
They'd even duel to get the shot
The days of a champion
They'll search for him
But he's a burnt out star
[Chorus]
He'll be out of the picture
But stuck in the frame
No more prizes, no more accolades
And no more famous name
No more famous name
The days of a champion
They will dissect his whole career
The days of a champion
And watch him disappear
The days of a champion
Unrecognised he'll walk the busy streets
The days of a champion
He will be private again
[Chorus]
The days of a champion
He'll watch the young man rise to fame
The days of a champion
Knowing their ends must be the same
The days of a champion
Friends acquired on golden days are gone
The days of a champion
He'll search for them - in vain
