When I say I look up to you.
I don’t mean I aspire to be like you
When I say that I look up to you
I don’t mean I follow your path,
Hoping to fall in line.
When I say I look up to you
You may ask then, “what do you mean”
If not to be like that person?
When I say I look up to you
Why should I aspire to be anything, but perfect?
When I say I look up to you
You have to understand no human is perfect
So why strive to be like one?
When I say I look up to you
I mean growth.
Which equates to making my life mine,
When I say “I look up to you”
That equates to making your life mine
Just to get my life back,
And why, would I want that?
When I say I look up to you
I mean I want these characteristics.
I want your lessons that my path in life didn’t bother
Teaching
When I say I look up to you
I mean I want that wisdom.
I want your sermon that my religion didn’t bother
Preaching
Only God is perfect,
So towards He, I aim
So when I say I look up to you
Know I only want to get better as I progress
To you. Then through you.
When I say I look up to you
Know that your success is only a level
To which I want to arrive.
Of which I want to remember.
