Father's Song

Trying to catch this phenomenon

Is like trying to capture a flame

Everyone wants to save the world

But no one will take the blame

And when will we learn

The end result of our negligence

Something's wrong; it's not quite right

We have misplaced common sense

Excuse me

But has anyone seen everyone's dad?

(Chorus)

'Cause a boy is the only thing

That God can use to make a man

And a boy is the only thing

That God can use to make a man

Point the finger at education

And we curse the silver screen

The prison system regurgitates

And we wonder what does this mean

And boys will be boys

But not without a man called dad

Something's wrong; the boy moves on

To try to live a life that he's never had

To try to live that he'll never have

Look around the family is a dying breed

And broken homes become majority

And the future is always born from example

So where are the men that God gave the responsibility to lead
