It's Never About Me
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

As I look upon this life of mine

There's so much good that I can see

And one thing I'm quite clear about

It's never about me

 

Since I was a little boy

I've seen such greatness all around

I've had the awesome privilege

Great people always me surround

 

The blessings are so bountiful

They appear at every turn

I revel in what I've never known

The unforeseen is what I yearn

 

As I venture through this life

As the future does unfold

I step through the unfamiliar

I accept the journey bold

 

I live to make a difference

In every life that I can see

I live to make a difference

For all of humanity

 

If I can offer some direction

To all those who've lost their way

If I can acknowledge their commitment

To transform their lives today

 

If I can offer consolation

To all those who grieve in pain

If I can offer boundless love

I say joy will return again

 

If I can stand in the arena

With those who think they face the end

If I can offer them support

I say they'll rise and fight again

 

If I can offer a kind word

To everyone I come to see

If I can see greatness in others

Who knows who they can be

 

If I can be all that I can

To honor human dignity

Now that's a life worth living

That is never about me
