Behind those eyes there shines a light That’s guided me from my first step Down life’s highway through thick and thin So I could tell the wrong from right. Behind those eyes there beats a heart That taught me love is what you feel And to be taken as it is And not something you take apart. Behind those eyes there lives a soul That speaks to me from deep within And warns me I must not despair Those things in life I can’t control. Behind those eyes there is a love That never lets me out of sight And stretches from my deepest flaw And reaches to the stars above. Behind those eyes I see myself The hopes and dreams she had for me I see myself as I could be Behind my mother’s eyes.
