Mother, Father

She sits alone, an empty stare

A mother's face she wears

Where did she go wrong,

the fight is gone

Lord help this broken home

[Chorus:]

Hey, mother, father, sister

Hey, come back, tryin', believein'

Hey, mother, father, dreamer

Don't you know that I'm alive for you

I'm your sevenths son

And when lightin' strikes the family

Have faith, believe.

With dreams he tried, lost his pride

He drinks his life away

One photograph, in broken glass

It should not end this way.

Through bitter tears

And wounded years, those ties

of blood were strong

So much to say, those yesterdays

So now don't you turn away.

[Chorus]
