You were the hero unstoppable so bright
Holding the world in the dead of the night
Now I see shadows behind your gaze
The spark's still there in a smoky haze

Where did that fire run when you fell
In your silent screams I hear you yell
Courage once roared now whispers low
But deep inside the fighter starts to show

Behind your eyes

Behind your eyes the pain you hide
But you're still here fighting the tide
Darkness won't hold forever you’ll rise
Strength is there I see behind your eyes

Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes

Each tear that falls is a battle cry
Every wound is proof you try
Heroes are born from scars they bare
In every crack there’s hope you wear

In the quiet moments feel the beat
Of strength returning lifting your feet
Stand once more let the past fade
A hero’s journey anew is made

Behind your eyes

Behind your eyes the pain you hide
But you're still here fighting the tide
Darkness won't hold forever you’ll rise
Strength is there I see behind your eyes

(Behind your eyes the pain you hide)
(But you're still here fighting the tide)
(Darkness won't hold forever you’ll rise)
(Strength is there I see behind your eyes)

Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
