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
