Be the Best of Whatever You Are  

If you can't be pine on the top of a hill
Be a shrub in the valley but be
The best little shrub by the side of a rill
If you can't be a woods be a tree

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail
If you can't be the sun be a star
It isn't by size that you win or you fail
Be the best of whatever you are
Be the best of whatever you are


Notes

  • The lyrics of this song are an excerpt one of Fred Rogers' favorite poems, "Be the Best of Whatever You Are" by Douglas Malloch.
