[ That Would Help You Be The Best ]
[ You Always Thought That You Would Be Taught How To Be
A Man By Your Father ]

[ Have You Ever Found Yourself In A Situation You Can’t

[ Who Says That You Have To Find A Way ]
[ & Reasons ]
[ To Stay? ]

[ & Give Him Time To Reflect? ]
[ It All Comes Full Circle Back To You ]
