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
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 Explain Request ×
