A strong desire in all of our hearts
To be known by others
To have our voices heard

Maybe by just your friends
Or the whole world as your stage
Your name known and respected

Why do we all want the same thing
Not just to be included; accepted
But to have value and praise

Children want reward for good behavior
An artist wants praise for his work
The elderly want to know their life meant something

Maybe fame is just human nature
A want born with each new soul
That starts as we're young and grows with us

Or maybe it's societal pressure
That our life isn't important
Until the whole world knows your name

So step back and bring someone else to fame
Help them on their personal quest
And you will find your personal fame
As the one who cares
