lyrics

Back when we were small
You were left alone
To wander gravel drives
In search of helping hands to hold

Deaf to papa's call
You left your comfort zone
You left the gravel drive
And there you stood in the world so alone

But Papa will protect you as best as he can
For he knows you need him so
But has Papa ever told you, now you may be surprised,
That he needs you just as bad

Mama drove away
You thought she'd gone for good
You tried to chase the car
But you were much too small to see

She'd return that day
You hadn't understood
You couldn't see her face
But somehow you still could feel her soft embrace

Yes, and Mama will protect you
As best as she can
For she knows you need her so
But has Mama ever told you
Now you may be surprised
That she needs you just as bad

A stranger traveling by
Saw you there alone
He took you by his side
And up the gravel drive you'd go

Papa held you close
Mama cried tears of joy
And brother, I could see
That we as one made the home where you'd always be

Yes, and brother I'll protect you
As best as I can
For I know you need me so
But brother have I told you
Now you may be surprised
That I need you just as bad
