A father?s son, but yet so distant.
A teenage boy, who couldn?t fit in,
with the laws my daddy laid out for me.
I ran away, I broke the rules,
Hardheaded, thinking I was so damn cool.
My father told me to grow up, and at that time
I had had enough,
I left home, and I change schools.
Because the
pathway of a man becomes a lot in just so little.
Blink too slow, you might just miss it, leave you
caught up in the middle.
Realize what you?ve done, give thanks and say your prayers.
You have a life in front of you, so live it from right here.
verse 2
Mama took me in, her baby boy.
Thought I?d do right, and seek the Lord.
But God knows I never really tried.
Until that day I became a man,
I stood in line and raise my hand.
took that oath swore to defend.
Two years later, I couldn?t comprehend.
12 months of dragging boots through the sand.
Because the
pathway of a man becomes a lot in just so little.
Blink too slow, you might just miss it, leave you
caught up in the middle.
Realize what you?ve done, give thanks and say your prayers.
You have a life in front of you, so live it from right here.
verse 3
Got a girl at home, baby on the way.
Six months left, so I couldn?t stay too, long.
But his blue eyes looked up at me,
And I realized who I could be.
A father trying to raise his son,
the way my family had done, for me.
So I called my dad and thanked him so
For all the times he held me close
When I was lost and I could, not see
So I called my mom and thanked her so
For all the times she prayed for me
Jesus turn this boy into, a man
Because the
pathway of a man becomes a lot in just so little.
Blink too slow, you might just miss it, leave you
caught up in the middle.
Realize what you?ve done, give thanks and say your prayers.
You have a life in front of you, so live it from right here.
