If u can’t be a pine on top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley,but
Be the best little scrub by the side of the rill,
Be a bush if u can’t
be a tree.
If u can’t be a bush, be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make,
If u can’t be a muskie then just be a bass,
But the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can’t all be captains,we’ve got to be crew,
There’s something for all of us here,
There’s big work to do & there’s lesser to do,
And the task u must do is the near.
If u can’t be a highway then just be a trail,
If u can’t be a sun
be a star,
It isn’t by size that u win or fail,
Be the best of whatever u are.
