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?
