my Father's eyes

Father, let us see like You see.



I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl


And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world

But that's all right as long as I can have one wish I pray

When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say



She's got her father's eyes, her father's eyes

Eyes that find the good in things, when good is not around

Eyes that find the source of help, when help just can't be found

Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain

Knowin' what you're going through and feeling it the same



Just like my father's eyes, my father's eyes, my father's eyes

Just like my father's eyes



And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done

Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone

And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me

More than anything I know, I want your words to be



She had her father's eyes, her father's eyes

Eyes that find the good in things, when good is not around

Eyes that find the source of help, when help just can't be found

Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain

Knowin' what you're going through and feeling it the same



Just like my father's eyes, my father's eyes, my father's eyes

Just like my father's eyes, my father's eyes, my father's eyes

Just like my father's eyes
