Keeper Of The Castle

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)
 Lay me down
