VERSE 1
In a world where dreams take flight
I’m searching for my guiding light
With my potential and destiny
All my goals can be achieved
With each lesson in empathy
And with kindness, I’ll find the key
To open doors along the way
My best me is here to stay
PRE-CHORUS
She remembered her past
But she didn’t repeat it
She worked day after day
To try and defeat it
The road to victory is a rhythmic beat
When the going got tough
She put on the heat
Past still fresh
But nevertheless
With compass in hand
She is up to the test
Awareness her guide, and
Friends by her side
She’ll roll up her sleeves
And take a deep breath
CHORUS
When my dreams are out of sight
All I need is a guiding light
When it seems I may lose the fight
All I need is a guiding light
VERSE 2
Just like your heroes, you'll embrace
True connections, show your grace
Building resilience, you'll stand tall
You’ll face challenges and conquer them all
Beyond the classroom and the hallways
You’ll make decisions in countless ways
Experience is your guiding star
Taking you closer to who you are
PRE-CHORUS
He worked job after job
For the money he needed,
He was never a slob,
And was never defeated.
The road to victory was a rhythmic beat
When the going got tough,
He put on the heat.
Past still fresh,
But nevertheless,
With compass in hand,
He was put to the test.
Awareness his guide, and
Friends by his side,
He rolled up his sleeves
And took a deep breath.
CHORUS
When my dreams are out of sight
All I need is a guiding light
When it seems I may lose the fight
All I need is a guiding light
When my dreams are out of sight
All I need is a guiding light
When it seems I may lose the fight
All I need is a guiding light
All I need is a guiding light
