Black Sheep Black Sheep



Black sheep Black sheep
Are you coming to dinner
No sir I'm not coming
To be judged as the family sinner

Black Sheep Black Sheep
We really wanna see you
Why now do you want me there
I'm not coming through

Black Sheep Black Sheep
I'm sorry for the pain
I'm sorry we've hurt you so much
And  left your energy drained

But come Home Black sheep Black Sheep
So we can make amends
There's nothing more precious than family
we will be here until the end

Black Sheep Black sheep
Meet me half way
To which the black sheep always replies
I'm on my way
