Analysis of Our Greatest Test
Our Greatest Test
~ ~ ~
In this world now full of fear,
you be courageous. In this world
that is full of lies, you be
honest in what you say. Where
few seem to care about others,
you be the compassionate one.
Because this country needs the likes
of you right now. You will be the
new hope for all of us. We need
people who will inspire us be
better than the phonies. Just be
yourself. Help that lady across
the street, you’ll feel better for it.
That is all it could take to turn this
country back around.
