Array ( [sid] => 23543 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Me Against the World [time] => 2003-09-20 13:05:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => What am I you ask?
I am but a single shaving of wood
on the floor of a carpenter's shop.

My trials and tribulations mean nothing.
In the grand scheme of things, who will care
when I have left this place?

Will my soul live on through all Eternity?
Why should it matter what I do with my life?
I look up and I see a star up in the sky

When I looked up at the blanket that is the sky
Covered with random sparkles that illuminate the night
I asked myself is that what life is?

How can something so small, so beautiful
Be so significant, so essential to life?
Who would have thought? I know it was not me

I Am a star up in the sky
I will shine bright through the night

I want to be significant
I will not subject myself to the norm

I will use my love, my compassion
To bring something to this life

But I know where I am going
I am the one you are looking at
When you look up and see that star up in the sky
