Role Model
Parents in a mixed-up world
Are you crying late at night?
You've got a sick feelin' deep down inside
Somethin' just ain't right
You send your children off to school
In a system that ain't too cool
But there's really nothin' they can do
Because they're totally dependent on you
On you
Are you conscious of the food they're eating?
Do you care about the air they're breathing?
Are they influenced by your love?
Or do you open the door and shove?
Parents in a mixed-up world
Are you so tied up, you can't move?
Does the straight-jacket of society
Have you trapped in the same old groove?
Do your children know the Lord above?
Do they know the freedom of His love?
There's really nothing they can do
Because they're totally dependent on you
On you
Are you conscious of the food they're eating?
Do you care about the air they're breathing?
Are they influenced by your love?
Or do you open the door and shove?
God's gonna ask you why
You lived your life that way
(You're supposed to be a role model)
They're the ones who'll have to cry
When they find out you were wrong
(They just looked up to their role model)
Know the things that you must change somehow
It's your life you rearrange so they can see
Just how they're s'posed to be
Just how they're s'posed to be
Are you conscious of the food they're eating?
Do you care about the air they're breathing?
Are they influenced by your love?
Or do you open the door?
Are you conscious of the food they're eating?
Do you care about the air they're breathing?
Are they influenced by your love?
Or do you open the door and shove?
