Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my daughter's eyes
I am a hero, I am strong and wise
And I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
[Verse 2]
In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal, darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
[Verse 3]
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
How it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
[Verse 4]
It's hangin' when your heart has had enough
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
[Verse 5]
In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone, I hope you'll see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
