No Self Pity

Electric light shines bright

But against the sun it is dim

Jet airplanes sure travel fast,

But how fast is the speed of light?

And no matter how low you are

There is always somebody lower

And no matter how slow you are

There is always somebody slower

Modern day structures are fantastic

But have you seen a butterfly's wings?

Man has created symphony

But have you heard a blackbird sing?

And no matter how dumb you are,

There is always somebody dumber

And no matter how fine you are

There is always somebody finer

But I see behind my eyes

Man can make sweet red wine

But have you tasted a mountain stream

Hollywood has created movies

But listen to the color of your dreams

And no matter how ugly you are

There is no such thing as ugly

And no matter how bad you are

There is always someone to forgive you

And no matter how fine you are

There is always somebody finer

And no matter how low you are

There is always somebody lower

And no matter how fast you are,

There is always somebody faster

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, and faster, and faster

And slower, and lower, and finer, and finer, and slower, and faster, and lower...
