Great

Great with the exception of a fate
Destiny still is a great gain
When fate gains the respect of whats great 
When less is more 
and little is greatly appreciated 
When widows coin was a sign of favor 
in the eyes of whom is great

When fame is taken those who could be great 
and given to those who live in shame

When closed eyes reveal a destiny 
and opened eyes is a vision of great a great destiny 
When the misconceptions of dreams are turned into 
the forbidden signs of Great creativity

When i accomplish all of me 
To better all that i will be 
To say to I've lived up to be the Greatest individual that i could be
That's when ill come to see, How Great indeed i came to be
