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



Chorus:

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



Chorus:

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 (fade)
