Shining Light

Remember when I was young
The dream was vivid in my mind (Ooh)
Visions up in my head (Head)
Success I had to find
As the time went on
The dream it seemed so far
I had to really take a journey
Yeah, yeah

I got my daughter by my side
And she's my shining light
Ill do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes to make things right
I'm working hard and you know I'll never give in
To make a better life for her, that's where I begin

I'm on a journey through time chasing a dream
A vision of success that's what I need
I'm leaving behind the past and moving ahead
All I got is my family, what don't she understand?

I'm not in it for the fame
I'm not in it for the wealth
I just want to make a difference
Make a better self
I'ma make my family proud
Show them what I do (Yeah)
Make my dreams come true (True)
That's my only goal (My only goal)

That's my only goal (Yeah)
That's my only goal (Yeah, yeah)
Let me pack another bowl (Cheers)
Yeah, and I really want to know
Where I'm going to be
I just hope that when I spread my wings
I'm going to fly away (Away)

I'll be waking up tomorrow
With a sadness in my heart
Weighing down right on my soul (Yeah)
I just cant seem to shake it off
Chasing my dreams no matter what
I'ma make them come true (I will make them come true)
Giving my all for my daughter
I'ma come through (That's on God)

I'm on a journey through time chasing a dream (What did I say?)
A vision of success that's what I need (That's what I need)
I'm leaving behind the past and moving ahead (Okay, okay)
All I got is my family, what don't she understand?
