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
