Men of Greatness

As the sun rises

A man rides across the horizon

He wears a symbol the world will know

A symbol to announce great men

But as the man rides through the lone land

He does not realize the symbol he wears

He just rides forward into the endless landscape

While the boy plays he wears a symbol

A symbol that represents the men of greatness

The boy dreams as all children dream of the world

This symbol represents

As the sun sets a lone rider rides into the sun

A boy walks the road leading west

Their only a shadow against the light

But the symbol they wear stands visible

The symbol of the great men to come

And great men from the past

The hat both wear

Mean different things to each

The face of the men of old

Have long been forgotten

The face may be forgotten

But to us they lived like gods

In a world the young dream to reach

And so the sun sets

And the man is remembered

For the greatness he once showed
