Mother, Father - Live at The Summit, Houston, Texas, November 6, 1981

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, a sister

Hey, I'd come back a tryin', believein'

Oh hey, mother, a father, a dreamer

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

I'm your seventh son

And when lightning strikes the family

Have faith, believe

With dreams, he tried, oh, then lost his pride

But he drinks his life away

One photograph, oh, in broken glass

It should not end this way

Through bitter tears

Whoa, and wounded years, those ties

Of blood, were strong

So much to say, oh, those were yesterdays

So now don't you turn away

Hey, a mother, a father, a sister

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, come back a tryin', believein', hey

Mother, a father, a dreamer

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

Ooh, I'm your seventh son

And when lightning strikes the family

Have faith, believe

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

I'm your seventh son

And when lightning strikes the family

Have faith, believe

Have faith, believe

Oh-ooh, believe

Ooh, oh

Ooh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh

Ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh
