In Those Eyes I See

In those eyes I see the sunrise

A new day dawning, sure and true

That beacon in the distance

Somehow still shining, through it all

You can’t help the hopeful feeling

Once you’ve seen into that soul

Untarnished and unblemished

By the worst the world could do

Followed the path into the fire

And stumbled through unharmed

That face still tells a story

I wish I could believe

Of a life free from the struggle

From the loneliness and greed

How I wish I could keep staring

And just lose myself in you

Bathe myself in the reflection

Of the light you can’t help but shine
