If you can't be the very best Then shoot for second best
 Numbers don't mean a doggone thing
 When fitting in the scheme of things
 
 In any given game of challenge
 Competition can be forceful and swift
 Only one is crowned the title of Number One
 No matter how close the sift
 
 Everybody can't be Number One, not even Number Two
 So forget about the doggone numbers, and do what you have to do
 Don't let the numbers fool you, think less about what they mean
 Remember, they're only numbers, the challenge is to keep your mind clean
 
 Never forget your roots, and never forget who you are
 Trying to be someone else will never get you that far
 That person outside of you should always reflect the person inside
 Anything short of that is in opposition to your own self-pride
 
 There's no one on this earth that's any better than you
 In spite of what they have, fame and fortune can be yours, too
 So forget about the numbers, and reach for the things that count
 And ironically enough, your self-esteem will surely mount
