Lyrics

​​

He was alone

Living his life on his own

Knowing that no one is there

Waiting for you

So, he tries to forgive

A father who just went away

A mother doing her best

Raising her son

On her own  

 

 We’re turning our backs on the family

And family seems in decline 

People believe it’s a thing of the past

And want us to leave it behind

 

A boy needs a father to help him be strong

To show him what’s right

And know when it’s wrong

To know he belongs

And he’s here to stay

A boy needs a father

To show him the way

 

She looks for love

But doesn’t know where she fits in

She doesn’t know who she would find

Out on her own

So, she tries to resist

The people dragging her down

The men she doesn’t want

And she doesn’t know

Or love

 

We’re turning our backs on the family

And family seems in decline 

People believe it’s a thing of the past

And want us to leave it behind

 

 A girl needs a mother to help her be strong

To show her what’s right

And know when it’s wrong

To know she belongs

And she’s here to stay

A girl needs a mother

To show her the way

 

 

 

When children get lost

Lost in the dark

We must find them

The world is unkind

And we have to find

A way to bring it back home

 

Kids need a family

To help them be strong

To show them what’s right

To keep them from harm

To know they belong

To hear what they say

Kids need a family

To show them the way
