Light in a Dim World


 All my life they've told me I was destined to do great 

Basically, since the age of eight

I always underestimate myself 

They see the light in me

They say I am the light in a dimming world

In times of trouble, I come to them

Just like they come to me

However, what they cannot see

Is that I need them

Much more than them need me
