Keeper of the Castle Lyrics

Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own Oh, can't you see while you're pickin' on society That the leaves on your family tree are callin' you to come home
You're the keeper of the castle, so be a father to your children The provider of all their daily needs Like a sovereign Lord protector be their destiny's director And they'll do well to follow where you lead
Oh, in your head, you don't believe what the good book said You're gonna strike out now instead, 'cause the world's been unkind Put through thick and thin whatever shape your heart is in You only have one next of kin better keep 'em in mind
You're the keeper of the castle, so be a good man to your lady The creator of the sunshine in her day Tend the garden that you seeded be a friend when a friend is needed An' you won't have to look the other way
Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own Oh, can't you see, while you're pickin' on society That the leaves on your family tree are beggin' you to come on home
Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own In your head, you don't believe what the good book said
