I've got my eye on you

I know you're scared
And I know what you've been through
Look in my eyes
Can you see I'm frightened too
So lets take one step at a time

I won't give up
That's one thing I swear will be true
For its said by the wise
Keep your eye on the prize
And I've got my eye on you

Great photo, of course. I am amused at the verse, and I'm not sure why I'm amused!

Not sure what the relationship is between the two. Beyond the obvious.

Nicely done!

When I completed the photo, that is what popped into my mind, "I've got my eye on you" and I knew it was familiar but unaware of how common a sentiment it is. Songwriters: Hans Zimmer / Trevor Morris

But then there is Fred Astaire, Chase Rice, Drake, and on and on and on

And more will become evident soon!

is they completely ignore you, no aggression, no fear, they just continue on their way like you are not there. Which if you stumble upon one, can make you hurt yourself, LOL

oh, and they climb trees

when i lived there, the yellow rat snakes from central to north FL were dirty brown colored and in the southern half of FL they were more yellow.....the farther south you go, the stripes start disappearing. the ones from everglades national park and south into the keys were brick orange with almost no striping and were categorized as a separate subspecies, with the common name "everglades rat snake".
