Fathers' Eyes
The Piano Guys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the night calls for your sleep
Rest your head
As I place you in His keep
I don′t have the strength to do this alone
So I pray that He will guide you back home
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Through a father's eyes
Through a father′s eyes
(Da-da-da, da-da, da-da)
(Da-da-da, da-da, da-da, ah)
Oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Through a father's eyes
Hush, my child (hush my child)
As the night comes for your sleep
Rest your head (rest your head)
As I place you in His keep
Through a father's eyes
Through a father′s eyes
Only through our Father′s eyes
The lyrics to The Piano Guys' song "Fathers' Eyes" convey a heartfelt message from a father to his child. The song begins with the father soothingly telling his child to hush and fall asleep, assuring them that they are safe in the care of God. The father admits that he doesn't have all the strength to navigate life alone, and he prays that God will guide his child back home. It highlights the vulnerability and reliance that a father feels, recognizing the need for a higher power to protect and watch over his child.
The repetition of the phrase "Through a father's eyes" emphasizes the unique perspective and deep love a father has for his child. It signifies the way a father sees and understands his child, connecting their journey through life with the guidance of God. This understanding provides a sense of comfort and reassurance for both the father and the child, knowing that they are not alone in their struggles and that there is a higher purpose to their experiences.
