WHAT THE WORLD WANTS.
The world is waiting for the man
Who'll gladly do the best he can.
It has a salary high to pay
To him who is content to stay
Upon the job and labor on
Until he knows his work is done.
The world is seeking hard to find
The worker with a cheerful mind.
It wants a youth of pluck and skill
‘Who'll use his brain and work until
The finished task at last he sees
Before he wants to be at ease.
The world has high reward to give
To him who does not want to live
As one who merely drifts along,
And fears to breast the current strong.
It wants a youth of sparkling eye
Who sees a goal and dares to try.
The world pays well for men of brains
And honest toil and taking pains.
"Twill lift above the common lot
Of “didn’t think,” and “I forgot.”
The man who in time of need
Can well be trusted with the deed.
The world is waiting for the man
Who'll look ahead and think and plan
And feel no matter what his post,
That he is where he’s needed most
For such a man there's work to do
And boy, it might as well be you.
