Calling

歌詞

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
