The Best Man Ten marksmen prepare to take their shot I the eleventh am quite distraught For I fear that horrid entrance list But a shot untaken is a shot sorely missed There’s only one winner only one prize Glory to shine in but one set of eyes I feel we’re friends in competition Competition I’d win if I but had ambition My eyes are sharp and can see the mark For the others this mist must be hopelessly dark I stand with my rifle, steady in hand Knowing my life could be wonderful, grand Knowing what I want is already mine I ready my rifle, next in line May the best man win we’d said to begin Yes I say, let the best man win Let him be honorable, loving and bold Worthy of the prize which he then will hold Let him be the best of the marksmen that be And please LORD, please, let him not be me "Be Strong and Always Remember what made you you."
