This look in my eyes

This look in my eyes is all i have sometimes. 
The fact they see my soul and I'm grateful.
Those times they see a revealing fear 
that turns into a fearless drive.
Those i love will see what i have is theirs
They'll see a want for greatness that i don't 
really need.

I challenge myself to stay challenged 
As the sun slips behind the horizon 
my mind slips behind my courage 

With all hope and good will
I will not submit to the simple
but press on with faith
