Family Ties Lyrics - Singles - Slow Coming Day

He takes the blame for his family's pain 

It's not your fault son I hear them say 

And what does he have now but broken dreams? 

And only promises that they'll never keep 

Can't you see, this boy is me? 

Can't you see, this boy is me? 

The tension builds, the hurting words 

The yelling voice, the falling tear 

The tension builds, the hurting words 

The yelling voice, the falling tear 

He takes the blame for his family's pain 

It's not your fault son I hear them say 

And what does he have now but broken dreams? 

And there is no chance they will ever be together again 

Can't you see, this boy is me? 

Can't you see, this boy is me? 

The tension builds, the hurting words 

The yelling voice, the falling tear 

The children are crying out, "Who's to blame for this?" 

The children are crying out, "You're the one to blame"
