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. 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 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. 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 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. 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.
