Family Lyrics - Red Moon - The Call

As a young child I would walk at your feet 

I was so in awe 

The stories you told me the way you would hold me 

I felt so small 

You were the best of all 

Then we watched you fall 

Hard to believe we could all be deceived 

They were tender years 

Choices you made, we all felt betrayed 

And time stood still 

But the past is done 

We were very young 

Father, oh you've got to be strong 

Mother don't cry 

I know that you tried 

Please be strong 

Lord I was shaken, Heartsick and vacant 

And filled with doubt 

Trapped in a cage, I became so enraged 

I would fight to get out 

Were we all to blame 

I felt such shame 

Father, you've got to be strong 

Mother don't cry 

You know that we've tried 

Please be strong 

Now that I'm grown with a child of my own 

I reflect on the years 

The love that was lost, we all paid a cost 

With a life filled with tears 

Oh but I loved you dear 

Let us move from here 

Oh father, you've got to be strong 

Mother don't cry 

You know that we've tried 

Please be strong 

Oh sister don't cry 

You know that we've tried and tried
