Let's Try, Really Try
I may be the smallest of small fry
yet I've got an idea that if we try
really try, give it all that we've got
out absolute 100% better-than-best shot
to develop leaders, true leaders, diamonds and jewels
in our churches, our youth groups, and schools
that the cream might rise to the top; O, that it would
and our country's leaders inspire us, as well they should
Americans want integrity and bold vision on Capitol Hill
not catcalls or petty quarrels from voices selfish and shrill
