http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13613250Light Under A Basket (Neil Cotton) When he was a child mama gave advice No pushing, no fighting, and no arguing You’ll keep more friends if you play nice No bragging how good you are at things When he saw a girl he liked He didn’t speak she passed him by Keeping his light under a basket Hindered attempts to succeed Keeping his light under a basket Didn’t get him where he could ‘ve been Keeping his light under a basket What we see is mediocrity Boasting is a poor commendation Mama’s words were stuck in his head Prove yourself just by your action Self praise is easy to forget When it came to interview time He didn’t brag jobs passed him by Keeping his light under a basket Hindered attempts to succeed Keeping his light under a basket Didn’t get him where he could ‘ve been Keeping his light under a basket What we see is mediocrity Keeping his light under a basket What we see is mediocrity
