Old man comes out of the rain   His heart's as heavy as night   There was a time, he was a soldier boy   He forgot the times before the war   There was a girl, he could have called his wife   But he let her slip right through his hands      He plays guitar on the corner some   But not enough to be a star   But it's enough just to have some fun   And make some people happy awhile      He's searching for a sight unseen   For what his father has not been   He's searching for a feeling, he calls home      Went to church to pray for a sign   Throw me a rope, Lord, throw me a line   So I can hang on or I can climb   I don't really care      I just want to find my own way   Sing the songs that my guitar plays   Make a child smile, make a daddy cry   Make my mama sing a lullaby      I'm searching for a sight unseen   For what my father has not been   I'm searching for a feeling, I call home      Yeah, I'm searching for a sight unseen   For what my father has not been   I'm searching for a feeling, I call home
