Rise Above the Rest
Rise Above the Rest
When I looked for directions
or when I seemed all alone
and my mind was put to the test,
all I remember is a voice saying
Go west, young man, go west.”
Expand your horizons, it said.
The voice thundered in my head,
“Don’t be a part of the crowd;
Strive to rise above the rest and
only then will you succeed.”
Perphaps this was a dream
or something a teacher said
one of those days in school.
I really don’t remember,
but I believe it’s a good rule.
