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.
