In My Mother's Eyes
In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
I know fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
Cause she has loved me first
before anybody else
She carried me till the ninth month
so very close to heart
She breathed life into my lungs
held my hand within her palms
showed me guidance in every way
made me who I am today
In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
I know fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
Her arms are always open
so I can curl within
For here I''m always special
without my need to win
Her soul ever a rainbow
in hues of humankind
For she carries no prejudice
amongst coloured and white
In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
I know fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
Our days ,lunchbox of memories
filled with tender loving care
Past nights,eternal bookmarks
of those fingers playing gently with my hair
I know one time I 'd have to wake up
in a world of all alone
In the stars I have to find her
cause mama won`t be home
In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
Knowing fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
