Your Better’s Best

They say: “the pen is more mighty than the sword”.

I say: “let’s put that adage to the test.

America, for union and accord,

we need not greatness, just your better’s best.”

.

You need not be the greenest land on earth,

nor the keenest prize in a treasured chest.

America, I say: “for what it’s worth,

we need not greatness, just your better’s best.”

.

When you advance yourself beyond today.

When you follow the sun from East to West.

America, I say: “that come what may,

we need not greatness, just your better’s best.”

.

America, in you we all invest;

we need not greatness, just your better’s best.
