Family Ties Songtext
von Lucky Dube

Ever since they were born
She was worried about their friends
Even when they turned 25
She was worried about the company they′d keep

One day, it was three in the morning
The doorbell rang, she got up in a sweat
Blue lights flashing everywhere
The boys in blue standing at the door

The look on their faces scared her enough
Before they told her what she was always afraid of

Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won′t be coming home tonight

Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight


Ever since she was brought to this home
She′s been cursing every woman with a child
She says they brought to this world the curse
That have stained the good name of mankind

One day, it was three in the morning
The guard came running to tell us she′s gone
Blue lights flashing everywhere, all over again
The boys in blue, looking for her

The look on their faces scared us enough
When they told us to strengthen our family ties (family ties)

Do you know where your mother is tonight?
Do you know where your father is tonight?
I'm afraid they won′t be coming home tonight

Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
I'm afraid they won′t be coming home tonight

Do you know where your son is tonight?
Do you know where your daughter is tonight?
