Guardian of the Galaxy

I want to reach the hearts of the people
I’ve lived without much for a long time
So if you think it’s a competition
Or for compensation
If you think it’s a race to the top
You can lessen your incline
Slow down your jog
It’s not the money I want
It’s the love,
The affection
It’s camaraderie
That’s what I do it for
Because those “thank you’s” make my heart feel warm
And sharing stories reminds me
Of how far I’ve come
And I bet you I’ll still do it without the applause
Because that’s what you do, when guided from high above
