I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say She's got her Father's Eyes Her Father's Eyes Eyes that find the good in things When good is not around Eyes that find the source of help When help just can't be found Eyes full of compassion Seeing every pain Knowing what you're going through And feeling it the same Just like my Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes Just like my Father's Eyes And on that day when we will pay For all the deeds we have done Good and bad they'll all be had To see by everyone And when you're called to stand and tell Just what you saw in me More than anything I know I want your words to be She had her Father's Eyes Her Father's Eyes Eyes that found the good in things When good was not around Eyes that found the source of help When help would not be found Eyes full of compassion Seeing every pain Knowing what you're going through And feeling it the same Just like my Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes Just like my Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes My Father's Eyes Just like my Father's Eyes

Build a fence around you in a father's way I try to feel what it is you'll be going through Co's I've played many ways When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down... Half the way? Do my best to feed you and I do what's right I try to find the words that I'll say to you When you come home tonight And if so, how hard will we cry before our sound Fades away? One day when the fence is not so high The road you took How far will you go? How high will you climb? And when all in life's unfair Are you strong enough to find another way, find another way Find another way? A Father's way I build a fence around you in a father's way Just like the one who used to preach to me Now I've become that way But you know How soft now the hand that used to strike To the heart One day when the fence is not so high The road you took How far will you go? How high will you climb? And when all in life's unfair Are you strong enough to find another way, find another way Find another way? There's no way You will stay There's no way I know you There's no way You will stay There's no way I know you.
