The Courage In Your Eyes

Nobody ever warned you



Nobody could have ever known



The road that lay before you



The journey that would lead you home



How steep was the mountain?



How long was the fight?



In the face of something so wrong



Somebody had to make it right



The courage in your eyes



The wisdom in your smile



The strength within your heart



To walk the endless mile



The years have only shined upon your face



And showered you with dignity and grace



Like the way you live your life



And the light you've always shown



More than the world, more than the world



Has ever known



Through the night and the darkest hours



The promise and the faith you kept



Brought the fury and the danger



To your home where your children slept



But you believed in a time for love



There'd never be a time for hate



What kind of woman keeps the dream alive?



What kind of dream does a lifetime take?



The courage in your eyes



The wisdom in your smile



The strength within your heart



To walk the endless mile



The years have only shined upon your face



Will shower you with dignity and grace



The way you've lived your life



And the light you've always shown



More than the world, more than this world



More than the world has ever known
