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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 Where we really so far away
 Where we really so far away
 Where we really so far away
 Where we really so far away
 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 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
