Story Behind the SongI wrote <i><b>In My Eyes</i></b> around the end of my 7th grade year as a tribute to my dad. A lot was going on at the end of that year, with school officials still very angry with me for making, in the Principal’s words, <i><b>“…the school look bad,”</i>

Era
2000 and later
As time is passing by
The one I call my hero
Has taught me how to fly
Wherever I go
IÂ’d look over my shoulder
And I would see
HeÂ’s On Top Of His Cloud
Watching over me
YouÂ’re my hero, youÂ’re my hero
YouÂ’re the worldÂ’s hero in my eyes
Yeah youÂ’re a hero, thereÂ’s nothing like you in my skies
ThatÂ’s the way I see it in my eyes
You showed me life
And the role you play
For generations to come what may
The three important questions
That you would share
Who are you, where will you go,
how will you get there for all to know
YouÂ’re my hero, youÂ’re my hero
YouÂ’re the worldÂ’s hero in my eyes
How can I thank you for all that youÂ’ve done in my life
ThatÂ’s the way it is in my eyes
You showed me life, to take it in
You showed me what to live for
To never give in
This song is more than just a song
YouÂ’re my hero, youÂ’re my hero
In my eyes
Yeah youÂ’re a hero, thereÂ’s nothing like you in my skies
This is what I see in my eyes
Beautiful person to me
In my eyes
