Cat Stevens - 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 Heal me if you can Is it true what they say That life is a dream
