[Verse 1] Life unfolds on roads unknown, Where every step can stand alone. There are paths that hide their scars, And lessons written in the dark. But wisdom comes from those who've walked, Who turned their wounds into what they taught. They don't promise a life without pain, They teach you how to rise again. [Pre-Chorus] A guiding hand, a clearer view, Someone who sees what lies ahead of you. Not to choose the road you take, But to help you learn from every mistake. [Chorus] A great mentor won't remove the rain, Or keep you from every trial and pain. They'll show you where the danger lies, Then teach you how to recognize the signs. They don't carry you through every fight, They give you the courage to choose what's right. Because the greatest gift they leave behind Is wisdom strong enough to guide your mind. [Verse 2] Every trap becomes a lesson learned, Every failure shows what must be earned. The road gets clearer with every scar, And you discover who you truly are. A mentor's worth is not control, But the strength they awaken in your soul. They give you knowledge, then let you grow, Trusting you'll find your own way to go. [Bridge] Don't follow footsteps just because they're there, Learn to question, learn to prepare. Take the wisdom, make it your own, Then walk with courage on your own. [Final Chorus] A great mentor won't clear every stone, They'll teach you how to walk alone. Through every setback, every fight, They help you turn the darkness into light. And when the journey becomes your own, You'll realize the seeds they've sown— Were never meant to make you follow their way, But to help you become stronger every day. [Outro] The right mentor doesn't change your destiny— They help you discover the strength to create it.
