Teardrops In My Eyes

It's not all beautiful,
but most of it is.
It's not all that you think it is,
but it's okay.
It's really okay.
Strength is like that.
One of those things pretty hard to understand,
but you still have it.
You still do.
I guess you should keep the heart of a lion.
Mostly the eyes of the birds.
See so much, you can let the future in.
Wouldn't miss it for the world.
