Lyrics

[00:47.509] Sailing down behind the sun
[00:51.400] Waiting for my prince to come
[00:56.550] Praying for the healing rain
[01:01.550] To restore my soul again
[01:07.890] Just a toerag on the run
[01:12.260] How did I get here
[01:14.560] What have I done
[01:17.399] When will all my hopes arise
[01:22.479] How will I know him
[01:24.830] When I look in my father's eyes
[01:27.839] (Look into my father's eyes)
[01:32.100] My father's eyes
[01:35.300] When I look in my father's eyes
[01:38.279] (Look into my father's eyes)
[01:42.300] My father's eyes
[01:50.300] Then the light begins to shine
[01:55.929] I hear those ancient lullabys
[02:01.119] And as I watch this seedling grow
[02:06.100] Feel my heart start to overflow
[02:11.790] Where do I find the words to say
[02:16.780] How do I teach him
[02:19.140] What do we play
[02:21.800] Bit by bit I've realized
[02:26.980] That's when I need them
[02:30.100] That's when I need my father's eyes
[02:32.290] (Look into my father's eyes)
[02:35.850] My father's eyes
[02:40.100] That's when I need my father's eyes
[02:43.810] (Look into my father's eyes)
[02:47.100] My father's eyes
[03:35.0] Then the jagged edge appears
[03:39.600] Through the distant clouds of tears
[03:44.510] I'm like a bridge that was washed away
[03:49.900] My foundations were made of clay
[03:54.800] As my soul slides down to die
[03:59.700] How could I lose him
[04:02.400] What did I try
[04:04.820] Bit by bit I've realized
[04:10.200] That he was here with me
[04:12.810] I looked into my father's eyes
[04:15.600] (Look into my father's eyes)
[04:19.790] My father's eyes
[04:23.700] I looked into my father's eyes
[04:26.740] (Look into my father's eyes)
[04:29.520] My father's eyes
[04:34.840] My father's eyes
[04:37.200] (Look into my father's eyes)
[04:39.750] My father's eyes
[04:44.800] I looked into my father's eyes
[04:58.400]
