All my life it's been hard to see the sun
With this giant shadow cast above
It started with a brother who was always great
And now a best friend, their greatness seems to hover

Thought once a grew older
And away from my brother
It would be easy to be great
Now over shadowed from another brother

For the longest time my name was "Gabe's Brother"
How I longed to have my own Identity
I wanted to be Greg ******
Qualities so great others could see

And now at work I have the same
Zack is always a little better a little faster
But what I don't see most times is
I'm actually smarter and stronger

I always try to see what I'm not
I used to ignore my own qualities
Looking now I see I am Greg
My own greatness my own personality

I may not have a six pack
Or be able to get the perfect ten
But I'm competent and a leader
I still have the capabilities to win

For once in my life I'm no longer under a shadow
For once I crawl out of the shadow and into the sun
I can proudly say that my name is Greg
No one to compare to, the number to my name is 1.
