I want to make it,i want to be great
and my name and legacy to go down in history,

I want to be successful put me in that bussiness suit
and that tie give me the money and i will lie

People tell me i will be great
but i think they are a year to late
i think i am normal thats why now they hear me talk informal

I walk with a million others
talk like a million others
never leave my own like a billion mothers

I try but not my best because if i try my best then i wont rest
i won't sleep i will be tired i will be weak

I just pass the bar barely feeling like i flunked it badly
cause i know i could do better but i rather not
i just pass by an inch every time and to my mother it is a crime

I tell her next time i will do my best or the teahers hates me
or this is not back in her high school days this is different
this is a new time it isn't the same the teachers are the ones to blame

But they are not it is me. mom dad can't you see?

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
