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 father's eyes?

*(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
When I look into my father's eyes
(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes

Then the light begins to shine
I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch this seedling grow
Feel my heart start to overflow

But where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him, what do we play?
Bit by bit I realise
That's when I need them
That's when I need my father's eyes

(* Repeat)

Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears
I'm like a bridge that's 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?
Bib by bit I realise
That he was here with me
And I looked into my father's eyes

(* Repeat)
