Lucky Dube - Family Ties lyrics

Ever since they were born She was worried about their friends Even when they turned twenty five She was worried about the company they'd keep One day it was three in the morning The door bell 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 [Chorus:] Do you know where your son/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 [Chorus:] Do you know where your mother/father is tonight I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight
