Live – Raising

Let’s gather round the supper table,

And tell the boy he’s just as able

To die with his boots untied

Evening’s come, let’s settle down

And sing one more song without a frown

Sing for, sing for our voices

And more, sing for our choices,

Just don’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie…

Love must stand when raising a man… raising a man…

To teach him direction and the best that he can

And lesson one, you will run,

Sink into your chair with fright

A baby boy is born today

Where comes he from, where will he play?

Will he run or will he stand?

Now I lay him down to sleep

A state of mind, his soul will keep.

I give him words, words to say

That he might love, love everyday

Just don’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie…

Love must stand when raising a man

To teach him direction and the best that he can

And lesson one, you will run,

Sink into your chair with fright

But the night, the night night night, the night’s all right…
