Not Me Lyrics - Singles - Keni Thomas

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 you're thinking 

Choose someone else instead 

But this league is 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 

May choose a legal guardian 

I'm sorry that you lost your folks 

But there's no next of kin 

Two brothers and a sister, she knew how hard 

It would be but she softly said 

I'll raise them while a voice inside her screamed 

Not me, not me, I can't believe what's happening 

This isn't how it's supposed to be 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 

A young captain at attention 

A star pin 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 

The world becomes a better place when 

Someone stands and leads the way 

Steps forward when they'd rather say not me 

Yeah, steps forward when they'd rather say 

Not me, not me, not me
