What I See In Your Eyes

How do you make the stars hush When just a whisper from their lips makes endorphins rush The sound of their voice is what makes life worth living Can't you see the gift their giving Can you see the gentle gleam in her eyes They bounce and dart like fireflies Lighting up this midnight sky But tell me what's your alibi For I swear my eyes have met yours before As if I've seen you standing on a distant shore Peering back at me Filling my heart with this melody, this song, this tune I wait for it night and noon But what makes you sing these songs Filling my head like an envelope Each piece of paper a gentle love note  Like a siren's call filling my thoughts, my body, my soul It gives me strength in dire times With each and every joyous rhyme It's like an angel so soft and sweet Has graced my presence and kissed my cheek Told me I don't have to weep This simple gesture has lifted me up, inspired me to never stop Because if just one person can make such a difference What can we all do with our existence Can we change the way this world turns With just our will and how much we Yearn Is it truly possible to shape the future with just our two hands I wasn't sure till I saw the demands A soul that's strong and a body that's tough A mind without limits and hands that are rough These are the things needed to change Not a single one can you exchange A strong soul you need for these trying times and a body that's tough to keep you from dying A mind without limits So you can really think for it Is small decisions That bring us to the brink And last but not least you need rough hands Calloused and withered from working the lands Because to shape a land so you can eat Is not such an easy feat It takes true thought and passion And is always done in a modest fashion  But the one thing you may have forgot Is the one person who brought you in And showed you how And she is the one that inspires you now She shows you to work with your vision And little do you know plays a role in every decision
