Hey, mother, father, dreamer
I'm your seventh son
Hey, come back, tryin', believin'
Don't you know that I'm alive for you
Hey, mother, father, sister
Where did she go wrong, the fight is gone
With dreams he tried, lost his pride
Hey, mother, father, sister
And when lightin' strikes the family
Have faith, believe
Don't you know that I'm alive for you
Hey, come back, tryin', believin'
He drinks his life away
I'm your seventh son
Hey, mother, father, dreamer
So much to say, those yesterdays
One photograph, in broken glass
Through bitter tears and wounded years
It should not end this way
Have faith, believe
So now don't you turn away
And when lightin' strikes the family
Those ties of blood were strong
Have faith, believe
Have faith, believe
I'm your seventh son
And when lightin' strikes the family
Don't you know that I'm alive for you
Lord help this broken home
