Okay, I'm on a songfic rampage. It's just that I remembered this song as I was falling asleep last night, and it's simply perfect!
Otulia: We own neither InuYasha nor Martina McBride's song, In My Daughter's Eyes.
In My Daughter's Eyes
She trusts in me. Somehow she had known all along, before I had even known myself, that I would not let any harm befall her. I would protect her, no matter the cost.
She believes in me. In her eyes, I am the strongest, and nothing will ever get in my way. I will never back down.
But in all truth, it is she who protects me…from myself. From getting lost in my ambitions and drowning in my power. Her presence is enough to keep me sensible. I am not living for myself; my purpose is now to protect her.
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
Her childish beliefs warm my heart. She doesn't see anyone as being better than anyone else; not even me. To her, everyone is the same. The only differences between us are the decisions we make, and what we are striving to achieve.
She knows perfectly well of the fighting in this world, the constant struggle between human and demons, between life and death. But yet, she ignores all of it. She wishes for peace, and will only ever think of peace.
I will not deny that her courage has helped me through many times of doubt. The strength of her young spirit becomes mine.
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
She brings me happiness, no, joy, that I've never felt before. As I watch her play her games, I forget all my worries and troubles. There is only one thing that matters. Her.
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
She has a way of making me understand the truth of things, of showing me, without a single doubt, what courage really is.
It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
I know I won't have her forever. She'll grow up, faster than I'd like, and maybe, one day, she'll want to return to her own kind. If so, then I wish her the same happiness she has given to me. And if she ever falls in love, and has a family of her own, I will be sure to protect them, just as I protect her now, because she is, and always will be, my daughter.
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
"Come, Rin."
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru!"
Is it good? It's short, but still…did I do well? Please review and tell me!
