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
