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.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
When I look in my fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
I hear those ancient lullabys.
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, Ive realized
Thats when I need them,
Thats when I need my fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
Thats when I need my fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
(Instrumental)
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, Ive realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
I looked into my fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
My fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
I looked into my fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes)
My fathers eyes.
(look in my fathers eyes...)
