Tony Stone - Broken Home lyrics

CHORUS Though the locusts broke your home I'm a take back what they stole Mend the bits of broken soul Now you still gotta have hope VERSE ONE In a moment you're sixteen, chilling with your lover Next you're seventeen, about to be father Never thought that life would take us down this road Two lost souls, too young with no control Some wanted him gone even before his life began We said never that, let's run for the hills Took a bit of time, Took another risk Put my life on the line, because his life is mine I can't believe I'm sitting here in this hospital The doctor said you can cut his umbilical I hold him in my arm, My finger fills his palm A love like no other, a son and his father Not going to be another young black statistic I'll Be there for my son, work hard till I feel sick Never knew that he'd be gone. Now I'm wondering where to find him Where do I belong? CHORUS Though the locusts broke your home I'm a take back what they stole Mend the bits of broken soul Now you still gotta have hope VERSE TWO My reason for life was gone when I lost my son A walking carcus is what I had become Many wounds to heal, like a war veteron Fell in love with the green hurb, trying to ease the hurt They say black males, we're all wasted and jaded They don't see the point, life is complicated On the surface they see me young and free, no responsibility They love to envy my freedom But what kind of liberty is this My heart is in a chain and all I feel is shame Every child deserves to grow up with their real father Tried to play my role, Became a man in that golden archer Scrambled lungs, so we speak in different tounges Jammed ears, so all we hear is interferqnce Lost in our battle against the darker powers The Cold War will finish with Love & perseverance CHORUS Though the locusts broke your home I'm a take back what they stole Mend the bits of broken soul Now you still gotta have hope VERSE THREE Lost a lot of time for me and my son to connect Wish i could watch as he took his first step Wish i could sit for that boys to man prep Right now i pa** the knowledge of these life & times So you don't have to go and step on that same mine When it blow's it hurts, it's all collateral damage To all those in broken homes I truly understand it Life is not perfect, when you look at your frame No way to explain how it feels to be a father You lose the one you love, it will always leave a scar We try to heal the pain and wipe away the shame Drinking southern Comfort will never bring you comfort We need to go through it and find true healing Just open up your fist and embraced Gods Grace The pain we feel is real but spirit he will heal Just open up your heart and recieve true peace CHORUS Though the locusts broke your home I'm a take back what they stole Mend the bits of broken soul Now you still gotta have hope
