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
