Backstory:
Likable Challenge was formed in the summer of 2012, on a tranquil beach in Santa Cruz, California. The founding members, lead vocalist Lea Gibson, guitarist Jake Henderson, drummer Nick Morris, and bassist Ryan Collins, were all high school friends who shared a common passion for music. The name ‘Likable Challenge’ was coined during a late-night jam session when the group decided they wanted to convey a message of embracing the struggles and challenges of life with a positive and likable attitude.

Over the years, Likable Challenge has gained a loyal following for their soul-stirring music and thought-provoking lyrics. They’ve made a name for themselves in the music industry with their seamless blend of genres, memorable live performances, and their down-to-earth personalities. Despite their growing fame, they’ve always held onto their roots, often referring to their fans as ‘family’ and always making time for them after their shows.

Title:
“Guiding Star”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Looking at the [G] sky,
[Am] Lost in the [Em] night,
[F] Trying to find a [C] light,
[G] A beacon in the [C] plight.

[Am] Life’s full of [Em] twists and turns,
[F] Lessons that we [C] learn,
[G] Burning bridges, [C] building new,
[Am] With every tide, [Em] we yearn.

(Chorus)
[C] Be my guiding [G] star,
[Am] Take me far, [Em] past the horizon,
[F] Through the darkness, [C] through the scars,
[G] Be my guiding [C] star.

(Verse 2)
[C] We’ve got dreams to [G] follow,
[Am] Hopes that aren’t [Em] hollow,
[F] Today and [C] tomorrow,
[G] We find strength, not [C] sorrow.

[Am] With every step [Em] we take,
[F] We learn from [C] mistakes,
[G] With every heartbreak, [C] we wake,
[Am] New paths, we [Em] make.

(Chorus)
[C] Be my guiding [G] star,
[Am] Take me far, [Em] past the horizon,
[F] Through the darkness, [C] through the scars,
[G] Be my guiding [C] star.
