Norm Crouse - Black Sheep Lyrics

She gave us hope; she gave us pause
About how she chose to live
She gave us pain; gave us love
It was all she had to give
If you asked about our black sheep
We all said she was the one
But she turned into an angel
After all was said and done

How much she thought; how much she felt
Can't say we really knew
Of all she hid; of all she shared
Didn't know how much was true
When we were asked to talk about her
Never knew how much we should
The few times we had to trust her
Didn't know how much we could

Enigma's all that comes to mind
When we try to find a label
Tried our best to show her love
As much as we are able
Tried so hard to change her
Always pressing her: "Do better"
She built a wall between us
And shame on us we let her

Family's really not an option
Family's really not a choice
So the only thing that we can do
Is give each of us a voice

We reached out; we pulled away
She seemed like such a danger
Felt intrigued; felt repelled
She acted like a stranger
We always talked behind her back
In anger and a whisper
So surprised when it turned out
She's was really just a sister

Enigma's all that comes to mind
When we try to find a label
Tried our best to show her love
As much as we are able
Tried so hard to change her
Always pressing her: "Do better"
She built a wall between us
And shame on us we let her
