Family Ties

Mother Nature is in decline and by her side stands Father Time
 He knows the scene, recycled routine, hold her hand and then grits his teeth
 Mother Goose has lost her mind and the Brothers Grimm stole her nursery rhymes
 Quaint and old, grotesquely told, strains the body to remove the soul
 I'd love to say what's on my mind
 This family has come untied
 There's some parts of me that died
 The binding rope that's frayed with time
 Mother Mary starts to cry and Father God's just standing by
 The crosses lined with dollar signs, and healing blood lost to the daily grind
 Mother died in a fiery home, and father left us years ago
 Sister's cancer bore no answer, now baby cries like an exotic dancer
 I'd love to say what's on my mind
 This family has come untied
 There's some parts of me that died
 The binding rope that's frayed with time
 And this family comes united
