My Father's Eyes

Sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again
Just a toe rag on the run
How did I get here, what have I done
When will all my hopes arise
How will I know him

When I look in my father's eyes
My father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes
My father's eyes

Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch the seedling grow
Feel my heart start to overflow
Where do I find the words to say
How do I teach him, what do we play
Bit by bit I'd realize
That's when I need them

That's when I need my father's eyes
My father's eyes
That's when I need my father's eyes
My father's eyes

Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears
I'm like a bridge that has washed away
My foundations were made of clay
As my soul slides down to die
How could I lose him, what did I try
Bit by bit I'd realize
That he was here with me

I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
My father's eyes
My father's eyes
I looked into my father's eyes
My father's eyes
