Just like them

I wasn't one for greatness, though I tried all the same
We weren't ones for everything, but all you had you gave.
A few rungs up we lived, what seemed like the top of the world
Every year it was better, but time would take its turn.
I guess I should have listened to someone, and not rushed out.
I suppose I should go back in time to smack myself around.
My greatness came and went, just like everything else.
I can look back now, and know that I wouldn't change the surrounding.
I guess its what happens, and you get up and keep going.
The only hope for life I have, is to re-live that life by showing.
No matter what it takes, I'm bringing greatness back.
Even if it takes my life away, I think I can handle that.
I'm going to do what I've got to, to live it out again,
And give all I've got to give, just like them.
