Striving Men lyrics

Little men strive for greatness

That they may supersede

To make up for shortcomings

That no one else may know

Great men strive for humility

That they may be equals

To be human once again

That a fault be overlooked

Most men live with fears

That they go ordinarily along

To be afraid of change, chances

That they must accept their lot

All want to be other men

That they would be happy then

To be free, rich, great, common

That they might find safety
