How great it is to soar among the birds,
between the twinkling lights far below,
and the glittering stars far above.
How great it is to be master of nature,
to have a mind capable of feats not yet known,
to live among the wonders wrought by our hand.
How great it is to have knowledge,
knowledge is power,
and this power is good.
How great it is to believe,
not in false gods,
but in the efficacy of our minds.
How great it is to be,
and to be, that which I be,
a Man!
(FYI: I always use the word “Man” to mean a human person, not just males)
