Be The Best

If you can't be the pine at the top of the hill Be the scrub in the valley, but be
The best little scrub on the side of the hill Be a bush if you can't be a tree
If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass Doing something for somebody's sake
If you can't be a muskie try being a bass But be the liveliest bass in the lake
We can't all be captains, some have to be crew There is something for all of us here
There is big work and little for people to do And the task we must do is near
So if you can't be a highway then be a great trail If you can't be a sun be a star
It isn't by size that you win or you fail Be the best at whatever you are
