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 toerag 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

(Look into my father's eyes) my father's eyes

When I look in my father's eyes

(Look into my father's eyes) my father's eyes

Then the light begins to shine

And I hear those ancient lullabies

And as I watch this 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've realized

That's when I need them

That's when I need my father's eyes

(Look into my father's eyes) my father's eyes

That's when I need my father's eyes

(Look into my father's eyes) my father's eyes

(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Then the jagged edge appears

Through the distant clouds of tears

I'm like a bridge that was 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've realized

That he was here with me

I looked into my father's eyes

(Look into my father's eyes) my father's eyes

I looked in my father's eyes

(Look into my father's eyes) my father's eyes

My father's eyes (look into my father's eyes)

My father's eyes

I looked into my father's eyes

(Look into my father's eyes) my father's eyes

(Look into my father's eyes)

(Look into my father's eyes, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

(Look into my father's eyes)
