My Father's House

In my voice, in my smile In the eyes of my eldest child You appear every year in my life In a dream, I have now Standing still in my father's house And I try another time to walk away I learned that music and laughter From the child that you hid in your eyes And it's his song that I sing Now who will sing for me? All my life, no voice inside Has whispered, "set me free" All this time, has it been, you or me I wait for someone to save me Just like you did all your life And will I find my home But I alone, like you
