Only the little boys tell you they're a big man
Dm            C       F       G
To all my sisters and all our friends

Brought poetry, brought science
F            G
Sowed quiet seeds of self-reliance
Dm            C   F      G
Bloomed in me, so here I am
          D                      C
You think I am high and mighty, mister?

Wait 'til you meet my little sister
