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



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 lightning 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)
