In My Mother's Eyes
by Kenny Marks

Album: World Gone Mad

I can see her now
Just a child in a grownup place
Scared and all alone
Nobody told her love could hurt this way
And I can see her now
And her face looks a lot like mine
She gave life to me
And I think about her all the time

So, I tell myself, I convince myself
I don't really need to know

All my life, I been searchin' for
That missing part of me
Somewhere behind that closed-off door
Is how I came to be
All my life, it's been no one else
This hope that I can't disguise
Someday I want to see myself
In my mother's eyes

And I can see me now
As I pick up the phone and call
And I hear her voice
Yeah, I wonder if she'll care at all
And I can see us now
Yeah, we're standing face-to-face
Could there be a chance
That our hearts could find a lovin' place?

Still, I tell myself, I convince myself
I don't really need to know

All my life, I been searchin' for
That missing part of me
Somewhere behind that closed-off door
Is how I came to be
All my life, it's been no one else
This hope that I can't disguise
Someday I want to see myself
In my mother's eyes

So, I tell myself, I convince myself
Lord, I really need to know
I need to know

All my life, I been searchin' for
That missing part of me
Somewhere behind that closed-off door
Is how I came to be
All my life, it's been no one else
This hope that I can't disguise
Someday I want to see myself
In my mother's eyes

She looks a lot like me
I can see her now
