[C#m] [F#] [D] [(D] [A] [E] [F#] [B)]
[B]Sailing[C#m] down beh[F#]ind the sun[B],
[A]Waiting for[E] my p[F#]rince to co[B]me.
[B]Praying[C#m] for the [F#]healing rai[G#m]n
[C#m]To resto[D]re my [A]soul aga[E]in.
[C#m]Just a [A]toe[F#]rag on [B]the run.
[E]How did I get he[A]re?
[F#]What have I done[B]?
[C#m]When wi[A]ll all [F#]my hope[B]s arise?
[E]How will I know [A]him?
[F#]When I look[B] in m[C#m]y father's eyes.
C#m A F#7 B C#m (x3)
[C#m] [F#] [D] [(D] [A] [E] [F#] [B)]
[B]Then th[C#m]e light b[F#]egins to sh[B]ine
[A]And I hear [E]those[F#] ancient lu[B]llabies.
[B]And as [C#m]I watch t[F#]his seedlin[G#m]g grow,
[C#m]Feel my [D]heart [A]start to[E] overflow.
[C#m]Where d[A]o I find [F#]the words t[B]o say?
[E]How do I teach h[A]im?
[F#]What do we play?[B]
[C#m]Bit by [A]bit, I'[F#]ve reali[B]zed
[E]That's when I ne[A]ed them,
[F#]That's when[B] I need my fa[C#m]ther's eyes.

[D] [A] [A] [E]
[(D] [A] [E] [F#] [B)]
[B]Then th[C#m]e jagged [F#]edge appear[B]s
[A]Through the[E] dist[F#]ant clouds [B]of tears.
[B]I'm lik[C#m]e a bridg[F#]e that was [G#m]washed away;
[C#m]My foundat[D]ions were [A]made of clay.[E]
[C#m]As my s[A]oul slide[F#]s down to [B]die.
[E]How could I lose[A] him?
[F#]What did I try?[B]
[C#m]Bit by [A]bit, I[F#] recogniz[B]ed
[E]That he was here[A] with me;
[F#]I looked in[B]to my[C#m] father's eyes.
[C#m]As my s[A]oul slides[F#] down to d[B]ie.
[E]How could I lose[A] him?
[F#]What did I try?[B]
[C#m]Bit by [A]bit, I [F#]recogniz[B]ed
[E]That he was here[A] with me;
[F#]I looked in[B]to my[C#m] father's eyes.
