[Verse]
Don’t worry, Gunther, it’s alright
You’re just a runt in the litter tonight
Born too small, Gunther pushed to the side
They said Gunther’d never run, never fight
Gunther’s got these scars that don’t show
From storms and chases long ago
Medals hidden under Gunther’s fur
But the fire inside Gunther still burns pure
Sometimes Gunther feels like giving in
But then Gunther hears the voices again
Whispering low, “Gunther, stand tall”
Faith pulls Gunther up when he starts to fall
[Chorus]
And it’s a connection to being human
This ache in Gunther’s bones when the night gets cold
A connection to being human
That Gunther keeps on going, never folds
[Verse]
Gunther carved his path through the doubt and the rain
First Rottweiler breaking the chain
Laine by Gunther’s side, brother in blue
They held the line, saw each other through
Max and Smalls trembled, made their amends
Mama Millicent’s love never ends
She thought Gunther was gone, cried through the dark
But Gunther came back alive, reignited the spark
Magnus wild showed Gunther roads untamed
Gunther repaid the debt, nothing remained
Ty Clan thrives with Gunther’s name as their guide
Alpha Gunther, forever his pride
Old dog Gunther now, blue eyes still keen
Gunther tells the recruits what the struggle’s been
“Persevere when the shadows creep in
It’s the fight in your heart that lets you win”
Sometimes Gunther wonders if it’s all worth the pain
Then Gunther sees their tails wag in the rain
[Chorus]
And it’s a connection to being human
To carry the scars and still stand strong
A connection to being human
[Bridge]
Gunther looks back proud where he belongs
Don’t worry, it’s alright
Gunther’s still here, still burning bright
Not the size of the dog in the fight
But the size of the fight burning inside Gunther tonight
[Chorus]
And it’s a connection to being human
This relentless heart that refuses to break
A connection to being human
Gunther’s legacy for heaven’s sake
