What do you see when you look at me?
Am I the person you aspired to be?
Do I make you proud?
Or did I let you down?

If only I can see myself through your eyes
Everything stripped away with no disguise
This race of aspiration I’m running, am I winning?
Or do I have to start again from the beginning?

I want to make you proud
I want to declare this promise aloud
The solemn vow was spoken
And it can never be broken

I’ll give you one more glance
As through life’s rhythm you dance
Take my hand and follow my lead
As we dance to the tempo of life’s drum beat
