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.
