My father was a mountain man
My father was a mountain to us all
My brother caught the fire between his eyes
And my mother used to sing the angel songs
'Cause you have to survive
My sister was a cage-less bird
Traveled all the oceans of the earth
But the hunger in her belly wouldn't die
'Til she swallowed all my empty pride
'Cause you have to survive
'Cause you have to survive
