[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, come back, trying, believing
Hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
[Verse 2]
With dreams he tried, oh, lost his pride
He drinks his life away
One photograph, oh, in broken glass
It should not end this way
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, yeah, come back, trying, believing
Oh, hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
[Outro]
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
Have faith, believe
Believe
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
[Chorus]
Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, come back, trying, believing
Hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
[Verse 2]
With dreams he tried, oh, lost his pride
He drinks his life away
One photograph, oh, in broken glass
It should not end this way
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Hey, mother, father, sister
Hey, yeah, come back, trying, believing
Oh, hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
[Outro]
Don't you know that I'm alive for you?
I'm your seventh son
And when lightning strikes the family
Have faith, believe
Have faith, believe
Believe
