Father lyrics

Father, oh Father, hear me if you can

Is it true what they say that life is a dream?

I don't understand the things that make rain in my eyes

Are they real or are they lies?

You know I hear so much about you now

I'd give anything to go on a little boat with you

Talk about the scheme of things

On a little boat with you

Father, oh Father, guide me if you can

Or give me the chance to follow You home

I am Your son but I wish I knew you

When you were young were you lonely as a boy?

You know I'd give so much to see you now

I'd go anywhere, pick a little stick and walk with you

Talk about the scheme of things

On a short walk with you

Father, oh Father, you give me just a little hope

I feel something out there reaching for me

Well, here I am, won't you take me with you out of this maze

And away from this place

Because it gets so cold and lonely here

I'll do anything to sit on a little rock with you

Talk about the scheme of things

On a small rock with you

Show me, show me, show me the way

Before they grind me down and bleach me grey

Send me power not to be afraid and when I close my eyes

Let me see You once in the light

Father, oh Father, hear me if you can

Is it true what they say that life is a dream?
