Father's Eyes

Tomorrow shell be turning 17

But somehow now the mirror has become her enemy

Feelin like shell never measure up

Feelin like shell never be enough

In her Fathers Eyes, he is taken by her beauty

And captivated by her every time

In her Fathers eyes, he is longing just to tell her

Shes never been more lovely in her life

If only she could see herself one time

In her Fathers eyes

Hes on the edge of giving up tonight

Hes feelin like hes wasted the best days of his life

Afraid hell never be the man he thought that he could be

When he looks inside hes so ashamed of who he sees

But in his Fathers eyes he is a son of glory

The image of a strong and mighty king

In his Fathers eyes, theres more left in the story

Hes fighting hard to hold back tears of pride

If only he could see himself tonight

In his Fathers eyes

So no matter where you are

And no matter what youve done

Youre not alone

And no matter where youve been

And no matter where youre from

Come back home

Cos in your Fathers eyes, youre loved with such abandon

Hes running to you now arms open wide

In your Fathers eyes, youre safe and youre accepted

Theres nothing you can do to change His mind

If only you could see yourself one time

In your Fathers eyes
