Relative Greatness
What is inside me
That makes me want to be great
This I will relate
Of most importance
I look to upcoming years
Push aside my fears
I want to be great
Although greatness might not be
Same for you and me
Great to me is not
Cars and women and money
That's not what I see
I see family
A loving wife and children
Create precious kin
Income to have life
Not excess; enough for joy
Dreams of a young boy
Friends that keep me clean
All I do and all I say
Do good ev’ryday
This is what inspires
The dream of future greatness
Never be faithless
