Journey - Mother, Father Lyrics

Artist: Journey

Album: Escape

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Jonathan Cain, Steve Perry, Matt Schon, Neal Schon

She sits alone, an empty stare
A mother's face she wears
Where did she go wrong, the fight is gone
Lord help this broken home

Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, come back, tryin', believin'
Hey, mother, father, dreamer

Don't you know that I'm alive for you
I'm your seventh son
And when lightin' strikes the family
Have faith, believe

With dreams he tried, lost his pride
He drinks his life away
One photograph, in broken glass
It should not end this way

Through bitter tears and wounded years
Those ties of blood were strong
So much to say, those yesterdays
So now don't you turn away

Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, come back, tryin', believin'
Hey, mother, father, dreamer

Don't you know that I'm alive for you
I'm your seventh son
And when lightin' strikes the family
Have faith, believe

Don't you know that I'm alive for you
I'm your seventh son
And when lightin' strikes the family
Have faith, believe

Have faith, believe
Believe

    Great Tune. It never made it big on the charts but if you come from a broken home... this one means something.
