These are but a small handful
Who took the stage and before us grew
They lived the life we wish we had
They wore the raiments, they were clad
With glory that was much more than fad
They all left a lasting legacy
They have their place in history
They made it look simple to reach for the moon
To wear the mantle, to make us swoon
They stood in the glory of the sun at noon
What would you give to be one of them
Wouldn’t it be splendid to be the gem
Would you really want blinding light
Do you think they slept at night
Without dreams of frightened flight
Or are they really all of us
Did they truly seek that furious fuss
Some of them to be sure
Wished and worked for that fame endured
But what good is it in their famous bier
Which would you take... right now
