Be my inspiration,

With the many things you do,

An icon of my era,

That I can look up to.

Make me want to change the world

And be my guiding star,

Enlighten me with worlds anew

And planets from afar.

Be my inspiration

And make me proud today,

By being you and nothing else,

In every single way.

With a cool and calm demeanour,

A laugh but never tears

And a heart of stone to take it all,

The jibes, the beatings, sneers.

Be my inspiration,

By fighting every fight,

To stand up for what you believe in

And what you think is right.

Let your only weapon be your voice,

To strike out and make them see,

The type of person, you truly are

And the one you'll never be.

So be my inspiration

And make me proud today,

By being you and nothing else,

In every single way.

With everything you stand for

And everything you are,

My one true inspiration

And one true guiding star.
