From a distance he'd be watching me
And I guess somehow he knew
That in my heart
I longed to be like him
In time the closer we became
The more it seemed I grew
I'd fall and he'd pick me up
And I'd try again
He loves me even when I do
The things I shouldn't do
And when I fail
To do the things I should
I've heard it said that love is blind
And I've come to know its true
He forgets the bad
And remembers all the good
In my father's eyes
There's no wrong I've done
In my father's eyes
I am the perfect son
He must see someone I can't see
And it makes me want to try
To be like the son
That's in my father's eyes
And when this life is over
My last trial I've gone through
It will be worth it all
Just to hear him say well done
Maybe then I'll understand
Just what he saw in me
But I'm sure I'll find
That he was blinded by the Son
In my father's eyes
There's no wrong I've done
In my father's eyes
I am the perfect son
He must see someone I can't see
And it makes me want to try
To be like the son
That's in my father's eyes
He must see someone I can't see
And it makes me want to try
To be like the son
That's in my father's eyes
