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.
