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
