| Where was your father when you need him most?
|
| He picks up and leaves and there’s bad things he does
|
| You tell me your bloodline’s made that way
|
| You tell me your dad has gone astray
|
| And you don’t feel like carryin' on
|
| You’re stranded in life 'cause of him and you know
|
| You figure that now there’s a curse on your soul
|
| You tell me you’d like me to change your mind
|
| Read all of Ezekiel 18 and find
|
| The child don’t need to bear the brunt
|
| 'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now?
|
| 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?
|
| In Second Chronicles 28 through 35
|
| Ahaz was reviled but they loved Hezekiah
|
| And how about Amon -- he was despised
|
| But, how they revered his son Josiah
|
| He had a better fate -- you gotta have faith
|
| You gotta have faith |
