I won't have a crack at profundity;
Someone always seems to do better than me,
Besides when the ocean gets too deep
You can't see the bottom you so desperately seek.
No, I will just tell you about my little spark,
The passionate bulb that burns in the dark,
Glowing away when duty calls
Though it can be switched off after a fall.
It's what makes me sing and strum and play,
It's what makes me read and write all day,
It's what makes me love my mummy so,
It's what gives me my get up and go.
It's this little brilliant light of mine
And I have resolved to let it shine,
Even if it gets me in trouble and grief
Its my little lightbulb, my loves and beliefs.
