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 fathers eyes My fathers eyes When I look in my fathers eyes My fathers 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 Thats when I need them Thats when I need my fathers eyes My fathers eyes Thats when I need my fathers eyes My fathers eyes Then the jagged edge appears Through the distant clouds of tears Im 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 fathers eyes My fathers eyes I looked into my fathers eyes My fathers eyes My fathers eyes My fathers eyes I looked into my fathers eyes My fathers eyes I looked into my fathers eyes My fathers eyes I looked into my fathers eyes I looked into my fathers eyes
