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.
