The Courage In Your Eyes
Michael Bolton · Other Songs - Michael Bolton
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
