My Father's Eyes (Take 1)

Sailin' down behind the sun

Waitin' for my prince to come

Prayin' for the healin' 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?

Then the light begins to shine

I hear those ancient lullabies

And as I watch this seedling grow

Feel my heart start to overflow

Where do I learn 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

Were you really so far away?

Were you really so far away?

Were you really so far away?

Were you really so far away?

Then the jagged edge appears

Through the distant clouds of tears

I'm like a bridge that is 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 recognized

He was here with me

I looked into my father's eyes

As my soul slides down to die

How could I lose him? What did I try?

Bit by bit I've recognized

He was here with me

I looked into my father's eyes
