A crown of laurels is a heavy thing to bear
But wearing it shows that you deserve to be here You strived hard for this, and now you do shine The works of your labors are oh so divine But in this, remember that you are the source Your tireless efforts are what inspire these words CHORUS Do what you want, not what they will For there is the pow'r of a peerage fulfilled Before thrones you stand, recognized for your art Let none of the others tell you how to stand apart A crown of laurels is a heavy thing to bear But wearing it shows that you are what you need to hear Although enlightenment's yours to impart Remember that you are what you need to start Unto all others your beacon is bright In doing what you will, you lead them by your light CHORUS A crown of laurels is a heavy thing to bear But wearing it shows that you've come so far to get here In service and research your actions have proved That it's enough to let your passions lead you Although it is tempting to give more than your share The work you are already doing is more than fair CHORUS |
