He Wore Red

He wore red, sometimes yellow

At home

Away



He wore red, sometimes yellow

On his heart

On his sleeve



He wore red, sometimes yellow

For himself

For them



He wore red, sometimes yellow

To show

He is one of us



He wears stripes now, sometimes gold

Wrong they say

Expected



We care what he wears,

Ugly stripes

Fake gold



He looked best in red, sometimes yellow

Passing the famed marble halls

Emerging from the tunnel
