Sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again
Just a poor man 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

(Look into my father’s eyes) My father’s eyes (yeah)
When I look in my father’s eyes
(Look into my father’s eyes) My father’s eyes (yeah)

Then the light begins to shine (shine)
I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watched 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

(Look into my father’s eyes) My father’s eyes (yeah) (that’s when I need them)
(That’s when I need my father’s eyes) I look into my father’s eyes
(Look into my father’s eyes) My father’s eyes (yeah)

When 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
And 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

I look into my Father’s eyes

I look into my Father’s eyes
