Do you compare yourself to others
In the measure of your worth
Can you not stand on what you have
Yourself over time incurred
Is that so unheard

Do you look and see that at least
I'm doing better than them
Is that how you measure
The standard of a man
What little worth you have

Why is the putting down of others
Your favorite way of pick me up
Measuring with the negative
Will never add up to the sum
In the measure of a man
