The galaxy is yours,
Only if you let it be.

Eyes of the heavens gaze upon you,
They tell you "choose me"
But you walk on
Your head held high,
nothing can defeat you.

The moon shines for you,
The stars twinkle for you,
They would do anything to light a path and guide you through the night.

But you walk on.
Nothing will lead you.

The trees sway for you,
Creating a breeze, keeping you cool on a hot summer's night.

But you shut the window and turn on the fan.
Nothing will cool you.

The crickets and the tree frogs make music for you,
A lullaby to fall asleep.

But you cover your ears.
Nothing will deliver a sweet sound.

You shut out the world,
But the world doesn't shut you out.
The world is taking care of you and you don't see all it does.

You hold your head high because nothing can defeat you.
Nothing will guide you.
Nothing will keep you cool.
Nothing will deliver a lullaby and make you fall asleep.
You shut them all out.
Why don't you take it all and let the world take care of you?

You are too glorious.
You are the main event,
The head of the show,
But most of all, you are doing what you think is right.

You wouldn't know though, no one taught you.
