^BSailing down ^F#behind the ^Bsun, ^AWaiting ^Dfor my ^Aprince to ^Bcome. ^BPraying for the ^F#healing ^Brain ^ATo res-^Dtore my ^Asoul a^Egain.

^C#mJust a ^Atoe rag ^F#mon the ^Brun. ^EHow did I g^Aet here' w^F#mhat have I ^Bdone'

^C#mWhen will ^Aall my ^F#mhopes ar^Bise' ^EHow will I ^Aknow him' ^F#m When I ^Blook in to his (eyes)

C#m A F#m B (x3) C#m A D (D A E A B) Look in-to my fathers eyes

^BThen the light be-^F#gins to s^Bhine ^AAnd I-^Dhear-those ancient ^F#mlulla-^Bbies. ^BAnd as I watch this ^F#seedling ^Bgrow, ^Afeel my ^Dheart start to ^Aover-^Eflow.

^C#mWhere do I ^Afind the ^F#mwords to ^Bsay' ^Ehow do I ^Ateach him' ^F#mwhat do we ^Bplay' ^C#mBit by ^Abit, I've ^F#mrea-l^Bized ^Ethat's when I ^Aneed them,

^F#mThat's when I ^Bneed my father's (eyes.)

^BThen the jagged ^F#edge ap^Bpears ^Athrough the ^Ddistant c^Alouds of ^Btears. ^BI'm like a bridge that was ^F#washed ^Baway; ^Amy foun-^Ddations were ^Amade of ^Eclay.

^C#mAs my s^Aoul slides ^F#mdown to ^Bdie. ^EHow could I l^Aose him' ^F#mWhat did I ^Btry' ^C#mBit by ^Abit, I^F#m recog-^Bnized ^Ethat he was ^Awith me;

^F#mWhen I l^Booked into his (eyes). Outro: C#m A F#m B x3 C#m A D (D A E A B)
