They can only see the jagged rocks that lie before them. They don't know that within them lies a gem. They will never understand the worth beneath the brim, But don't worry about their words when your smile begins church hymns. You never know what the treasure is without opening the chest. You can't know the beauty of the nation without traveling east to west, So climb the tallest mountain's very tallest tree and smile for you are blessed. He can't call you worthless because he doesn't see your past, She can't say you're weak when you're furthest from the last, You can't know your limits without first going passed, And if you keep going, You'll see who you will surpass.
