Black Sheep Don't Break

Black Sheep Don't Break [Intro – Male (Father) | Spoken over lone acoustic guitar, distant wind] Every family's got one... The one who never quite fit the picture. The one who carried more than anyone knew. Ours... Was my daughter. --- [Verse 1 – Female Lead] Two-fifteen... The phone lights up. Didn't need a name... I knew enough. Pulled on my boots, Grabbed my keys. Another storm Calling me. Didn't ask why. Didn't ask when. Family calls... I just go. --- [Verse 2 – Male (Father)] I raised her stubborn. Lord knows that's true. Thought I'd teach her What a hard man could do. Then life hit harder Than these old hands could stand. She stepped beside me... Before I had to ask. --- [Pre-Chorus – Female Lead] We ain't much for speeches. Never learned those lines. Around here... Love shows up... Long before sunrise. --- [Chorus – Male & Female Together] They've always called me The black sheep. Never bothered me much. Some carry silver. Some carry gold. I carried the people I love. If the road gets ugly... If the night runs deep... Call who you trust... Not who talks the most. --- [Verse 3 – Male (Brother)] I was one bad night From throwing it away. Too damn angry, Too damn proud to stay. She stood in my way. I cursed her name. Years went by... Now I thank God she came. --- [Verse 4 – Female Lead] My sister called With tears she couldn't hide. Didn't need details. "Baby... I'm outside." No questions. No blame. Just an open seat... And the long ride home. --- [Bridge – Female Lead | Male Harmony] Mama couldn't breathe When the good Lord called. So I held her together While the whole house fell. Sometimes strength Don't look like steel. Sometimes... It's just refusing... To let go. --- [Instrumental Break – Fiddle, resonator guitar, low war drums building] --- [Final Chorus – Full Cast] Dad couldn't carry... So I did. Mama was breaking... So I stayed. Brother was burning... So I stood. Sister was drowning... So I came. Call me stubborn. Call me different. Call me whatever helps you sleep. But when tomorrow comes... You'll still know my number. --- [Outro – Father Spoken | Female humming softly underneath] People ask me... "Why's she the black sheep?" I just smile. "Because every family's got one soul Strong enough to walk into the fire... And walk back out." Black Sheep... Don't Break.
