about

A very somber, emotional tone. Very fitting with the poetry/lyrics.

lyrics

"When it comes to the bottom line, it's about choice
though we all talk the talk, our walk shows of what we forsake,
we've discarded our lives, what really matters, leaving them empty
instead of taking it back as we should, we turn and flee
How many Fathers now, have run away?
leaving desperate lives behind, caught up in the fray
how can you leave what's most precious of all behind?
yet we do it every day, our own blood, our own kind
children given half a chance with half of their home there
and they use their whole life searching for what wasnt there
its more and more frequent, from day to day,
being selfish and stubborn, determined to do it "your way"
and there's more and more children, yet less fathers to stay
your supposed to be a sanctuary for them to confide,
yet you only made one for yourself, because its easeir to hide
you can run from responsibility but its always gonna be there
you cruelly reminded them early how life isn't fair
so fathers, make it a little bit closer to fair
now is always the time to pick up the pieces
swallow your pride, its not too late to stop all the grieving
come home to your children, Fathers, though it may be hard
but the best things don't come easy, its time you mended the scars.
So come home.
