The promise in your eyes

Little faces at the kitchen table She tries to smile again

But her eyes drift slowly to the empty chair

Then back to them

Not long ago there were brighter days This house was full of

joy

She still recalls the hope she felt When she first held her

boys

Restless nights crawl into lonely mornings

She drinks her coffee as her thoughts run wild Her phone lights

up and the worry begins A trembling voice from her troubled child

She hangs her head when the call is done She knows this

road too well

And whispers a prayer for peace and strength A return to days

before the darkness fell

I've seen the struggle in your tear-filled eyes You've walked this road

alone before

But I will hold your hand and walk with you Down every

road, through every door There's still a promise in your eyes

Through every doubt and fear

A love that's stronger than the darkest night And I'll be standing

here

The morning breaks, a new day begins The coffee's hot and bold

She's at the table where it all first changed When warmth gave

way to cold

She sees a photo of her long-lost love

She smiles and turns away

Then gazes at a picture of her troubled child And wonders where

she is

today

I've seen the struggle in your tear-filled eyes

You've walked this road alone before

But I will hold your hand and walk with you

Down every road,

through every door

And I'll be standing here (hummmm)
