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
heal me if you can
is it true what they say
that life is a dream
