We want to be that bright shining light
the one that gives bold insight
every step taken hitting its mark
if we have our wayWe want to be that bright blazing star
the one that helps to see so far
and ignites dire hearts with fire
that doesn't fadeWe want to be that bright ember blaze
the one that inspires and amazes
while taking the world by its reins
never to strayWe want to be that knight in bright plate
the one that slays every daft prate
and strengthens the courage to rise
every single timeWe want to be the sunlight that shines
the day that never turns to night
but we are only humans who cannot
glow
without tearing our soul
and watching it
fade awayWe are only humans who give too much
only to find there is not enough
for ourselves when the times get rough
and we cannot help but
go astrayWe are only humans who leak our light
not stopping to think of the empty inside
that will remain once all the brightness
has lost holdWe are only human
But we want to be bright
If only we can
Keep making this light
