[Hook]
Look up to the sky
Watch the sun arise
Imagine your come up
One day you're gon shine

[Verse 1]
Through the vignette/ she's sittin on her swingset/ the next Whitney, no idea that she can sing yet/ dinner's ready but she don't wanna come in yet/ rain's coming, mom don't want her to get her skin wet/ did you clean your room? She replies yes/ yes who? Yes daddy. That's my princess/ her favorite PJs, as she crawls into her bed/ a bedtime story and soft kiss on her head/ she's a dreamer/ visions spin like the ballerina/ she wants to be one day, she dreams one day to be Serena/ or the Queen o' England, so young but her demeanor, is regal, she shines like Chi(cago) Lites, have you seen her/ Her friends are blinking while she lays/ from a million miles away/ they've all been given a name/ she blinks back, thats how they play/ her eyelids begin to fade/ but before she drifts away/ she can hear her father say/ dream big tonight, tomorrow start your day with a...

[Verse 2]
She peers at pirouettes/ she hears her heroes stress/ young girl have no fear but fear itself/ don't veer to the very things/ that don't care for the care you bring/ make sure the crowd cheers when your chariot comes in/ don't wear what'll wear you down/ don't stare if the stairs go down/ look up to the sky, the air is heir to the ground/ prepare to pair your sound/ with the glare that trickles down/ and clear the clearest water, clear with a single bound/ share your sheer delight/ with the world when the time is right/ find a guiding light/ steer it and shine it bright/ some years will bring you to tears/ don't tear those pages out/ don't be scared, my dear/ dare take a braver route/ when sneers begin to rear/ throw shade over your ears/ imagine your come up, put despair in the rear view mirror/ she hears the quotes from the wise/ prepares to open here eyes/ older, smarter, and knows what's on the horizon/ she can't wait, she's dyin to...

[Verse 3]
She's hoping she sees no Ls/ but knowing that she won't fail/ she opens the door to the world and goes at it teeth and nail/ She sees Oprah, She sees Michelle/ believes the truth is possible/ weaves thru the obstacles, unbroken and needs no help/ speeds through impossible/ flies over doubt/ stands up to difficulty/ and rules hiding out/ speeds through impossible/ flies over doubt/ stands up to difficulty/ and rules hiding out/ ambition in abundance, sets her sights on number one/ but understands you have to pay a price to overcome/ Thankful for all the advice/ All the nights when she was young/ The cycle has begun when she recites it to her son/ she says:

"Look up at the stars, believe you can fly/ stare into the clouds, dream about the sky/ jump n touch the moon, you can be as high/ shine like the sun, I see it in ya eyes"

And with that, its engrained forever/ something he'll always remember/ the bond will never sever/ Together they can
