Reassurance.

i feel so small, standing here beside you.
you've got a brilliance that shines out through the core of you.
but me, my chances are pretty slim.
i haven't got a lot to give; i'm insignificant at best.
but you've inspired me to be brave and take a chance.

i can see, you are destined to be great.
it's written all over your face.
and i've got nothing but to wake up every day
and try so hard to erase, the doubts inside my mind
i'm trying desperately to find the reassurance that i need.
can you see something good in me?

how could you ever understand the weight of all these challenges?
my failures, inexperience and inability, simply to be you....
oh the things that i would do.
and not that i would want to be, anybody else but me,
but you've got to understand
what i would give
to have the cards you hold in my hands.

and i feel, so very intimidated.
i was afraid to even face you.
but i thought i saw a mercy in your eyes...
a kindness in your smile.

so i'm standing here beside you,
and i'm asking you to guide me
through the mess of all my aimlessness
and the fear i hold inside me.
cause in my heart, i have a dream,
and i think that all i need
is somebody like you to just believe
so I pray to God you'll see
something good in me.
