Fatherless Generation


Where is my father?

If I could change one thing, it would be to get my father back.

Where is my older brother? 

If I could change one thing, it would be to have an older brother take a stand in the gap since my father isn't here.

Where is my protector?

If I could change one thing it would be to have someone who will protect me.

Where is my believer?

If I could change one thing it would be to have someone who will believe in me.

Wouldn't you?

Maybe I can change one thing.

Maybe I can be a father to the fatherless.

Maybe I can change one thing.

Maybe I can be an older brother to stand in the gap if the father is not there.

Maybe I can change one thing.

Maybe I can protect you from the people who would judge you and hurt you.

Maybe I can change one thing.

Maybe I can believe in you.
