The Stars That Hide

Force yourself to do your best
And the only begging you'll ever do
Will be to your very self
To do better than the rest

All these limits that we set
Are the ones we have to test
Are the ones we must surpass
To continue our success

Failure's not a real thing
It's just another path
That forces us to feel things
We never thought we'd have

Every one of your shortcomings
Are just hiccups in your stride
That for certain weren't for nothing
And aren't something you should hide

Every star that's in the sky
Is a sun during our night
And yet they try to hide
Behind the beauty of the light
Our favorite one of them provides
