Who said your dad's son just can't turn it around? In case you don't know -- I'll show you a couple guys The worst in the Bible -- but the kids were alright You had a bad break -- your family's gone awry But calm it back down, baby, really, don't cry You have a better fate -- You gotta have faith Well, you need to cruise by Psalms today The 27th chapter -- what's it say When dad don't seem to care at all? 'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now? Who said your dad's son just can't turn it around? In ages long ago -- King Ahaz was a guy Who's worthless and vile -- but he had Hezekiah And after that day, King Amon arrived He brought a black cloud but his kid was Josiah Who brought a better day (oh, follow me) Second Kings 16 through 23 shows you how things can turn around King Ahaz and Amon were bad to the bone But they had the most righteous sons to be on the throne Yeah So where was your daddy when you needed him most? Oh, you know what? You need to believe in a Dad you can trust 'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now? Who said your dad's son can't just turn it around?
