Heading down the same old path
trying to figure out left from right
I don't know how much more
I can take

but then see i see you standing
looking so proud and confident
and I push myself that extra mile
or two

So before I must go
there is more I need to tell you
you are my shining star
the one who keeps me going

you have faith in me
when no one seems to care
even when my heart
begins to tear

but then everyday when I wake up
I think that you are only but a dream
then at school
you are right there to care for me

So before I must go
there is more I need to tell you
you are my shining star
the one who keeps me going

and I am grateful for that
every time I see you
with that smile on your face
ready, eager, and willing to please

Oh I wish that you could have someone like you
just to guild you through your life
but maybe you already have
it is just your mind

So before I must go
there is more I need to tell you
you are my shining star
the one who keeps me going

Now I must go
I hope you will follow
because I need you
and I always will
