Sailing down 
behind the sun 
Waiting for my 

prince to come 
Praying for the healing 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 
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
