In Your Mother's Eyes Lyrics

I meet your mother in the doorway
And you both have the same blue eyes
There's a fire in her soul
But the flame is low and it's burning her out
And now we're walking down the hallway
And we tiptoe past your room
And when you climb out of bed
It's just like everybody said
I barely recognize you

Ooh and even though your heart beats slower
And time is not your friend
I gotta let you know that you've got a long way to go oh oh
When you feel struck down
When there's no one around
When the hurt won't slow
I see your mother's eyes
See the flame inside
And I know I'll see you tomorrow

Yeah it's okay to be afraid
We're all feeling the same
This isn't how it's supposed to go
And now you're sitting at a table
And you're smiling through the pain
You're surrounded by your friends
And I can't remember when
I heard you laugh so freely

Ooh and even though your heart beats slowly And time is not your friend
I gotta let you know
That you've got a long way to go oh oh
When you feel struck down
When there's no one around
When the hurt won't slow
I see your mother's eyes
I see the flame inside
I know I'll see you

Tomorrow we can head down to Phoenix
The sun is always beating
Write that in your book of goals
Tomorrow all the plans that you've been makin'
Tell God that he's mistaken
Tell the darkness to go
Tell him we said NO!
No! Just tell him we said no!!

(Vocalization)

Ooh and even though your heart beats slow
It scares me to death 'cuz you're not like the rest
And I know you'll go on
I've seen it
I have seen it
I have seen it
In your mothers eyes
I've seen it in your mother's eyes
I've seen it in your mother's eyes
There's a flame you can't disguise
I'll see you tomorrow...
