My Real Father's Eyes

What color hair would I have?

What color eyes would I see through?

Would it make you smile when I laugh?

We'll never know

We'll never know

Would I write music or poems?

Would I be head of my class?

On summer breaks would I come home?

We'll never know

We'll never know

 

I was a mere inconvenience

Of a situation they'll deny

With my parents ashamed of me

I will most certainly die

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

I guess raising a child

Must make murder seem mildly light

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

In my real Father's eyes

 

Would I be savvy enough?

Would I have brothers or sisters?

How many times would I love?

We'll never know

We'll never know

Would I love God faithfully?

Would I teach others the Gospel?

Would one soul be saved 'cause of me?

We'll never know

We'll never know

 

I was a mere inconvenience

Of a situation they'll deny

With my parents ashamed of me

I will most certainly die

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

I guess raising a child

Must make murder seem mildly light

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

In my real Father's eyes

 

Just tell yourself my life hasn't began

It'll make it much easier to live

But the truth is a power you can’t understand

And Jesus will always forgive…you

If you let Him

 

I was a mere inconvenience

Of a situation they'll deny

With my parents ashamed of me

I will most certainly die

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

I guess raising a child

Must make murder seem mildly light

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

In my real Father's eyes

 

Did you even give me a name?

What should my real Father call me?

Did my death rid you of your shame?

How can you sleep

With the secret you keep?

 

I was a mere inconvenience

Of a situation they'll deny

With my parents ashamed of me

I will most certainly die

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

I guess raising a child

Must make murder seem mildly light

But I'm alive in my real Father's eyes

In my real Father's eyes
