Spectacular

Spectacular They insist we have to be better When, in fact, we are better We’re better than most Without having to work at it We do not have to be our best For the sake of others comforts As our worse is our greatest And our best is spectacular Our ancestors planted the seeds Faith, prosperity, and strength Has grown inside us, abundantly And has united us in love And we are engulfed by the roots Of spirituality and hope We have flourished in unity Our ancestors have never left us In fact, they are depending on us And we shall not cause worry For we are them And they were spectacular While in the fields Surrounded by hatred hearts They were at their best In spite of expectations Through humility they hummed Sounds of greatness And we are still listening Each word embedded in our hearts We do not have to be wiser And we won’t be invisible Because we are better than most Even at our worse For we are spectacular.
