"The Reason I'm Here"

If there is only one reason
Why I am still here,
Let it be to inspire,
Reaching higher and higher,
To teach,
To soar on eagles' wings you gave me
To find the ocean

And step away from the shore
To dare to dream
Always looking for more
To be a light in a cold, darkening world

Let that be the reason I'm here
