I Care Not

I care not for wealth and I care not for fame And I feel happy that not many know me by name In the Town I live in an almost unknown I feel grateful to know that my life is my own, The ego no doubt is a very strange thing It goes to our head when others our praises sing I too have an ego that praise does inflate I envy the humble the humble are great, An ordinary man on an ordinary street And a complete stranger to many I meet But that's the way I like it my privacy I enjoy Though I did dream of fame when I was a young boy And I care not for wealth and I don't yearn for renown I feel happy to be an ordinary man in an ordinary Town.
