I See My Mothers Eyes
Back when I was young
everything was just the way
it was meant to be
life seemed so easy back then
It was all so perfect to me
Now its hard for me to see
Things arn't as easy
as they used to be.
Muma always had the answers
she always knew what to say
she never turned a soul away
now it's become opposite roles
when I look in the mirror
I drop a single tear.
CHORUS
I see my mothers eyes
staring back at me.
as I look in the mirror
she is the one I see.
hiding the tears
confronting the fears
Giving and taking
destroying and making.
Love and Believe
I see my mothers eyes
staring back at me.
I see kids falling through the cracks
I see our elders going hungry
Our future lost in catastrophe
I see the world falling apart all around me.
CHORUS
I'm in my own little world it seems
Surrounded by thoughts and dreams
Born to achieve
Chase my goals
Simply believe.
She gave me the courage to move on
I am able to accept and say goodbye
I just look in the mirror
stare at her eyes
and cry.
CHORUS
