about

Guiding Light is the reminder I’ve created that I'll carry out the work necessary to keep me a source of light, an anchor, and a place my daughter can always call home.

lyrics

This is where, where you wanna call home
I guarantee you’ll always be safe
When you return from all your journeys
This is where you’ll find your rest

I, I will be, I will be your North Star
Your guiding light

This is where you build your story
And I’ll be there to guide you through
When the world tosses you about
I’ll remind you where you came from

I, I will be, I will be your North Star,
Your guiding light

Bridge
Take my hand, walk with me,
And I will show you the way

And I, I will be, I will be your North Star,
Your guiding light
