I stand here now looking up
Against the ground I prove my all
The power to survive against the years
I hold all close I love so dear

^^This opening stanza paints a bird's eye view of what the writer is feeling and the strength he holds.

I pray to be as bright as a star
One people look up to, when lost in the dark

^^Its nice to be that one person who everybody can turn to, look up to when in trouble for that itself gives the person strength and determination!

For we gain conviction as we follow our hearts
The sight that we strive for resembles a shooting star

^^Very nicely said here!

Bright and furious we move on by
Leaving a small trail right behind
So the small may follow our path in life
A glorious color, a spectacle of light

^^Reading this bit brought a picture of a line of ants following the leader who will lead them on the correct path..well penned!
