From earth, went forth, and back to earth
The classic tale of any man
‘Tis in-between that lights the heart
And differs us from man, to man
Each one of us, was born the same
A soul of joy without a name
Blank slates to write his own story
Either with mar, or with glory
Good enough is not good enough
Average just makes our lives more tough
No destiny is forged in steel
Nor fate an impeccable seal
There is no fate of such hard range
That human will can never change
Great men were born ordinary men
Sometimes they fail nine out of ten
When the storms of life come close up
They give, and give, but not give up
From dung and mire, many arose
They toiled the day, even the night!
The path to glory’ll never close
‘Tis forever an open right
If you too walk the extra mile
Your legs will grace the golden aisle
Have faith in you, and remain true
‘Cause greatness too is meant for you
