My father was a mountain man
My father was a mountain to us all
My brother caught

The fire between his eyes
My mother used to sing me angel songs
Little child of mine you should rest sometime

Let the fever burn 'cause you have to survive
Oh, you have to survive for your sanity and mine
For your sanity


My sister was a cageless bird who traveled all the oceans of the earth
But the hunger in her belly wouldn't die

Til she swallowed all my empty pride
Sister of mine you should rest somtime
Let the fever burn

Cause you have to survive
Oh, you have to survive for your sanity and mine
X 2

For your sanity and mine
