I search for my father's love
In every man's eyes
A love that died with him
As I was taking my first tentative steps
Into this large and lonely world
So I must question
Whether I have found in you the sanctuary
that I have been without for most of my life
If you will be the one to tell me
That I am good, and smart and beautiful
Teaching me to trust the warmth of another's touch
Or that I must move onward and my quest continue
