Where Your Father's Been

Colony House


You wake up with your eyes shut
And your lips blue from the cries
You'll never know how much they mean
Every prophecy they bring
It's like your heart already knows
This is where your father's been
And where you're gonna go

Breathe deep every new day and
Let the Sun rise, let the light stay
For the rain will never stop
If you're chasing every drop
No, you don't have to go alone
This is where your father's been
And where you're gonna go

Dream, boy, go in wonder
Fill your heart with fire and thunder
Passion leads a man to love
But that alone is not enough
You've gotta lay your body low
'Cause if you love something enough
You'll learn to let it go (oh, oh)
You've gotta lay your body low
Yes, if you love something enough
You'll learn to let it go

And when you're afraid (and when you're afraid)
That this road has led you away (has led you away)
Let love find you (let love find you)
Let love bind you up (let love bind you), oh
Let love guide you home (let love guide you)
And remind your soul (and remind your soul)
Love will listen (love will listen to you, love will listen to you)
I will listen to you (I will listen to you, I will listen to you)

Oh, oh
And when the pain is true
And your strength has fallen through
Whatever shadow that you hold
This is where your father's been
And where you're gonna go
Oh, I wish I could take it away
Every moment that your heart will break
Just don't forget the truth you know
Remember who your father is
And where we're gonna go

Every new day
Every step that you take
Every sunrise
(And when you're searching for a voice to find you)
Is a dream that you make
(Be still and listen to the song that binds you)
Every new day
(When you're looking for a light to guide you)
Every heartbreak
(A fire's burning buried deep inside you)
Every sunrise, and sunset, and mistake, and misstep
(And when you're searching for a voice to find you)
This is where your father's been, and boy I love you so
(Be still and listen to the song that binds you)

When you're looking for a light to guide you (hmm)
A fire's burning buried deep inside you (hmm)
And when you're searching for a voice to find you
Be still and listen to the song that binds you
