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
