I was once alone
Then you came and lifted me up
And showed me the beauty of the stars
Fearful and cold
There was always something more
Than what you told me that you are
Why am I here?
Why did you choose me that day?
There were so many others
There were sisters and brothers
Who tried so hard
To get my place
But I won't let you down
I'll never take for granted what you gave me
I won't back out now
After all you taught me
I just want to make you proud
And throughout all the happiness and sadness
The good times and the bad times and the madness
You were always there to help me on my feet
And as I'm writing you this one last letter
I think of how you changed my life for better
And every time I picture you I shed a tear
Oh, I won't let you down
I'll never take for granted what you gave me
And I won't back out now
After all you taught me
And from our fears we will not run
And I'll be the stars that light the way to what we've become
Your last lesson has just begun
The beauty of a setting sun
