I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes,
Am
I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes,
Am
I have heard it, I have heard it in my father's voice,
Dm
It's been a hard life, a hard fight,
Dm Am
And all of the things that he wanted are in his hand,
G F G Am
But silver would not betray what's written in the sand,
G Am
And a wall will not keep his people from the Promised Land,
C F G
And I will never believe that the same thing could happen to me,
C F G
And I will never believe I'll give up on the dreams that I see
Am
In my father's eyes, my father's eyes,
Am
I will go now, I will go now to my father's house,
Am
I will show him, I will show him that I'm strong enough,
Dm
And there's a bright light, a great light that's shining around him
Am
For now he has found a son,
G F G Am
Who will give to the world, the work he has begun,
G Am
Who will open the door to reveal the chosen one,
C F G
And I will never believe that the same thing could happen to me,
C F G
And I will never believe I'd give up on the dreams that I see,
Am
In my father's eyes,
Am C G F G
Whooooooooooooo,
Am C G F
Whoooooooooo,
G Am
In my father's eyes, my father's eyes,
C F G
And I will never believe that the same thing is happening to me,
C F G
And I will never believe I'd give up on the dreams that I've seen,
Am
In my father's eyes,
Am C G F G
Whooooooooooooo,
Am C G F
Whoooooooooo,
G Am
In my father's eyes, my father's eyes,
Am
I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes.
