Can’t
all be prima donnas
Upon the great world’s stage;
Can’t
all be star performers
And all be all the rage.
But
each can do a little
To please the weary ear;
Each
one can hum or whistle
A little song of cheer.
Can’t
all stand in the spotlight
With brilliant speech or song,
And
win the noisy plaudits
Of the excited throng.
But
in the role of hero
Each actor can appear,
And
speak, if that is only,
His little word of cheer.
