Keeper of the Castle

Keeper of the Castle - Four Tops Lyrics

Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around

Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own

Oh, can't you see while you're pickin' on society

That the leaves on your family tree are callin' you to come home



You're the keeper of the castle, so be a father to your children

The provider of all their daily needs

Like a sovereign Lord protector be their destiny's director

And they'll do well to follow where you lead



Oh, in your head, you don't believe what the good book said

You're gonna strike out now instead, 'cause the world's been unkind

Put through thick and thin whatever shape your heart is in

You only have one next of kin better keep 'em in mind



You're the keeper of the castle, so be a good man to your lady

The creator of the sunshine in her day

Tend the garden that you seeded be a friend when a friend is needed

An' you won't have to look the other way



Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around

Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own

Oh, can't you see, while you're pickin' on society

That the leaves on your family tree are beggin' you to come on home



Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around

Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own

In your head, you don't believe what the good book said
