Everyone wants to be
A solo act.
Everyone wants to make
The world hum along.
But have you noticed
How many of the great and not so great
All have an entourage?
It takes a band
To be a band.
It takes a team
To win a game.
It takes a crew
To pull off a one-person show.
This whole idea
Of number one, the one,
The best one,
Always seem to require
Other ones
To support them.
Teams don't succeed
If individuals don't contribute their best,
And individuals are diminished
If they discount the value of the group.
By all means develop your skills,
Make a useful contribution,
And be your best.
When you add your best
To everyone else's,
Everything rises.
Everything is then experienced
In the white light
Of acoustic alchemy.
