Looking out my window an angel in robes
Appeared and nearly pulled me apart
A million miles of freedom, a million miles of road
But I still don't know where to start
She wrote her number down and she gave it to me
They had to scrape me off the floor
In this transient town of waiters and dealers
Trying to get their foot in the door
That night, I called her and she said,
"Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life
I've been trying to find my place in this world"
And I said to her, "Baby, baby, babe, I got all night
To listen to the heart of a girl"
I can see the time dripping down the clock
We've been trying to hear that ancient refrain
It's the one that knows us when our heads are down
And reminds us of a place
From where we came...
Daddy, daddy, daddy all my life
I've been trying to find my place in this world"
Baby, baby, babe, I got all night
To listen to the heart of a girl
What happened here, what is this world?
It's too far from the heart of a girl
A ripple in the water, from the drop of a pearl
I'm on the shore waiting, for the heart of a girl
Many doors, knock on one. Standing still, time is raging
Staring down the mouth of a hundred thousand guns
And you're still here, you're still here
I believe that we never have to be alone
Yes I believe it's just around the bend
You can hold it in, or you scream it on a microphone
There is no end, there is no end
Deep in the night I feel a presence
Of something that was long ago told to me
There is a hand guiding the river, the river to wide open sea
And deep in my heart, in any game
Or any mountain no I'm not afraid
Standing on stone, you stand beside me
And honor the plans that were made
