[Verse]
Gunther, young dreamer, with fire in your eyes,
I come from the shadows where old warriors lie.
Scars on my muzzle, your mother’s scent near,
I’m friend, guide, protector—cast away your fear.
You chase a bold path no Rottweiler has trod,
To stand as a K9, defying the odds.
They say it’s not for us, that we’re not the kind,
But dreams burn the brightest when doubt’s left behind.
[Chorus]
Hold fast to determination, fierce and unyielding flame,
It carries you farther than luck or skill or fame.
Wishing won’t forge it, nor help from a paw—
Only your heart’s steady fire will conquer it all.
Obstacles rise like ancient cliffs high,
Waver not once from the truth in your cry.
The honor unspoken, the path yet unseized—
Cling to your purpose, let nothing be eased.
[Verse]
Every choice is a test, young one, hear what I say,
The easy path tempts but it leads you astray.
It blinds with its smoothness, then drops to the deep—
True strength comes from hardship, the promises you keep.
Pause before choosing, let wisdom take hold,
Pick what makes you proud when the story is told.
Growth carves its mark on the trails that are hard,
They shape who you are, leave you battle-scarred.
[Bridge]
[Gunther (soft):] “Who are you, really? I don’t understand…”
[Elder:] “A friend who will guide with an unseen hand.
The mark of true friendship—encourage, support,
And stand in the silence when words fall short.”
[Chorus]
I am proud of you, pup, though you cannot see why,
Your courage awakens what sleeps in the sky.
Run toward your battles, let fear fall behind—
The spirit of Rottweilers walks close in your mind.
Hold fast… hold fast…
I am proud of you.
