Chris De Burgh - My Father's Eyes lyrics

I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes, I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes, I have heard it, I have heard it in my father's voice, It's been a hard life, a hard fight, and all of the things that he wanted Are in his hand, but silver would not betray what's written in the sand, And a wall will not keep his people from the Promised Land; And I will never believe that the same thing could happen to me, And I will never believe I'll give up on the dreams that I see In my father's eyes, my father's eyes; I will go now, I will go now to my father's house, I will show him, I will show him that I'm strong enough, And there's a bright light, a great light that's shining around him For now he has found a son, who will give to the world The work he has begun, who will open the door to reveal The chosen one; And I will never believe that the same thing could happen to me, And I will never believe I'd give up on the dreams that I see In my father's eyes; In my father's eyes, in my father's eyes; And I will never believe that the same thing is happening to me, And I will never believe I'd give up on the dreams that I've seen In my father's eyes, in my father's eyes, my father's eyes; I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes.
