The foundation in parables
Pulling straws the short straw
Who pulled the shortest of straws
Pulling straws the short straw
Who pulled the shortest of straws
The making of a man
Building of a name
Who knows what tomorrow holds
Who knows what tomorrow holds
Which is better
To be a small fish in a Big tank
Or to be a Big fish in a small tank?
Mr Big man
Throwing dice, for fortune teller's luck
Tell me what is your number
To be the part, crown jewel
Or be counted as party
To the part by association
Making up the numbers
In roll call, marking the register
What is your number, don't say 118
Making up the numbers
In roll call, marking the register
What is your number, don't say 118
And size do matter, does matter in efforts
Like little drops in the part played
Transforming in substance
Elephant running scared of the ant
Who builds mountains from mud
Who is throwing dice, spiders giving fright
Was it not just a single man
That threatened to bring down an empire
Oh hail Marcus Aurelius
Shifting the balance of play
Building cities, on deserts
To be called a great marvel
While legends are built on conquest
With stories that uplift and inspire
In the making of a name
Many an empire came to be
Made by men, the commoner with vigour
That few knew before history was made
amazing wonders.
