Keeper of the Castle

歌詞

Lay me down There's a lot of us been pushed around Red or yellow, black or white and brown With a tear of their own Oh, can't you see While you're picking on society That believes on your family tree Calling you to come home You're the keeper of the castle So be a father to your children A provider of all their daily needs Like a sovereign lord protector Be their best friend, please direct them And they'll do well to follow where you lead Oh, in your head You don't believe what the good book says You're gonna strike out [?] instead Cause the world's been unkind But through thick and thin Whatever shape your heart is in You only have one next of kin Better keep 'em in mind You're the keeper of the castle So be a good man to your lady The creator of the sunshine in her day In the garden that you seeded Be a friend when a friend is needed You won't have to look the other way Lay me down There's a lot of us been pushed around Red or yellow, black or white and brown With a tear of their own Oh, can't you see While you're picking on society That believes your family tree A beggin' you to come on home Lay me down There's a lot of us been pushed around Red or yellow, black or white and brown With a tear of their own In your head You don't believe what the good book says
