If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be the brush in the valley but be,
The best little shrub on the side of the hill,
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.
If you can’t be a tree, be a bit of the grass,
And some highway lovelier make.
If you can’t be a muskie be a bass,
But the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can’t all be captain, some have to be crew,
There’s something for each of us here.
There’s big things to do, there’s little things to do.
The thing to do is the near.
So if you can’t be a highway, be a trail.
If you can’t be the sun, be a star.
It’s not by size that we win or we fail,
Be the best of whatever you are.
