Lyrics

One Man?s Roof

I?ve seen what I?ve become
A mirror of the father I despised
Because I never understood
And it?s too late to say you?re sorry once he?s died.

There?s a lot that I can change
I want my children to have someone to believe in
When the times out there get rough
And friends fall in to same old traps, and start deceiving.

When you?re living under one man?s roof
That?s just the way it is, when someone feeds you
And all the wasteful things you do
When deep down in your heart, you know that he needs you.

Now there?s a time within my life
When thoughts, deep in my heart, need to be spoken
And I mean to rectify
To repair the damage of the dreams I?ve broken.

When you?re living under one man?s roof
That?s just the way it is, when someone feeds you
And all the wasteful things you do
When deep down in your heart, you know that he needs you.

When you?re living under one man?s roof
That?s just the way it is, when someone feeds you
And all the wasteful things you do
When deep down in your heart, you know that he needs you.
