She's the Top (Short Story)

TOP OF MY SCHOOL

Katherine Lynn-Rose

Some people live the life that was given

Some people just get by

Some people never learned how to be driven

Some people don’t even try

But some people know what their heart desires

Some people lead with a passionate fire

And some people know that they’re destined

To fly

I’ll go all out, ace every test

No doubt, outdo all the rest

Don’t pout or settle for second best

So I won’t stop, and won’t lose my cool

Don’t flop ’cause Harvard’s no fool

And who’ll love me

If I’m not the top of my school

She’s the top (She’s the top)

She’s the top (She’s the top)

She’s the top (She’s the)

Top of our top of our school

Maybe my friends will say I’m overzealous

Maybe I try too hard (Maybe she tries too hard)

Maybe they’ll just have to learn to be jealous

Watching me shine like a star

’Cause maybe I know what my heart desires

Maybe I’ll lead with a passionate fire

’Cause baby I know that I’m destined

To fly

But if I hadn’t earned a dollar

What would you think of your dear daughter

Would it be pity or dishonour

To ensue

And if I failed to earn blue ribbon

How could I ever be forgiven

Tell me what love would still be given

From you

I’ll go all out, ace every test

No doubt, outdo all the rest

Don’t pout or settle for second best

So I won’t stop, and won’t lose my cool

Don’t flop ’cause Harvard’s no fool

And who’ll love me

If I’m not the top of my school
