My Father's Eyes

Lyrics

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)
