An old fighter’s gloves
Hanging on the wall
It’s been too long
A challenger has called
Now you stand to lose
Everything you see
Unless you stand up
For what you believe
You’ve got fists for hands
An iron jaw
But now they say
The Hardman’s gotten soft
You’ve got the skill
You’ve got the might
Get back your edge
You will win this fight
Steel of the champion
Your legend will live on
Our sons will sing your song
Harder than steel
You’re coming back
Word travels fast
You will not be
A relic from the past
You see the crowd
You hear the cheers
They’re still with you
All through these years
This is your chance
This is your town
You don’t just break the mold
You beat it down
You’ve got back the touch
You’ve got back the power
You’ve trained so hard
This is your finest hour
Steel of the champion
Your legend will live on
Our sons will sing your song
Harder than steel
The bell rings out
There’s no turning back now
They’re on your side
Just fight like you know how
He throws a jab
You land a hook
He’s on the ropes
That’s when you see the look
The tide has turned
You’ve got nothing left
They say throw in the towel
But that you won’t accept
You’re going down
It’s the final swing
As the lights go out
The crowd begins to sing
The crowd begins to sing
Harder than steel
Harder than steel
Harder than steel
Harder than steel
Steel of the champion
Your legend will live on
Our sons will sing your song
Harder than steel
Harder than steel!
