He was a soldier at the royal guard,
And joined the war for this country,
Which unknown and be a freedom guard
At the Kagnew unit as an infantry.
He won the new record in Rome
With bare-foot, and Tokyo again.
To him the road was at home,
In Seoul we met him again.
As a soldier, he visited Korea
And as a famous athlete again,
For unknown competition in Korea.
No guarantee but visited fain.
Alas, a Korean friend couldn't revisit
And no trace of him in this country
But many Koreans, visit,
Not knowing the name, but the Bakery.
