In Your Eyes
Living my life, barely making it from day to day.
Never thinking or believing one day it could change.
Wake up every morning more tired than the day before.
Another restless night of dreams and visions left me on the floor.
I get up slowly and dress while struggling inside,
Fighting the demons I see from the corners of my eyes.
Trying to forget the words and visions spinning in my head.
I think I'm still alive but I swear I am mostly dead.
I stand alone on my shrinking island of light.
So tired of trying, I long to give up the lonely fight.
Calling out I fall to my knees, staring at the cloudy skies.
I'm terrified but at peace, crying as I gaze into your eyes.
In your eyes I see hope.
In your eyes I see life.
In your eyes I understand
Only I can turn my life around.
In your eyes I see a choice.
Within in myself I need to find,
The courage to spread my wings and fly.
My past chases me but I cannot just walk away.
Searching there I find no reason I should stay.
Bound tightly by my fears from both ahead and behind.
I hesitate on the edge, unable to make up my mind.
I'm on the brink and have no idea what I should do.
Should I turn and flee or run forwards to you?
Do I stay with the only life I've ever known?
Or make a future in which I have the chance to grow?
I gather my courage and still my doubting voice.
For I see that I only have one real choice.
Taking a deep breath I turn away from all the lies.
I take the final step and fall into your eyes.
In your eyes I see hope.
In your eyes I see life.
In your eyes I understand
Only I can turn my life around.
In your eyes I saw a choice.
Within in myself I had to find,
The courage to spread my wings and fly.
