The Rise
When was it, we learned
That getting "Ahead"
You had to leave others behind
And measured success
Against all of the rest
By counting our nickles and dimes
While reaching up
To grasp at the stars
Is certainly not a crime
Remember all those
Who lifted us up
And helped us each step of our climb
