[Verse 1]
Born 1945, the son of a preacher
He had every odd in his favor
Potential and a destiny was not enough
For him to really know his worth
He was plagued by the pressure of perfection
Finding peace at the bottom of the bottle
Although his wife and two young kids looked at him for love
They grew calloused by the father that he never was
[Chorus 1]
So what if he was there when they needed him the most?
And what if he could hinder them from wondering their worth?
What if he could take back all the empty guarantees
And be the man that he was born to be?
[Verse 2]
Born 1968, the son of an addict
Hope was dim for a brighter future
Misunderstood and overlooked, he was burdened
By the father that he never truly had
He longed to break the barrier of generations
Not finding truth in the lies he always heard
He was climbing to success, not falling to defeat
Becoming what his father tried but never could be
Born 1945, the son of a preacher
He had every odd in his favor
Potential and a destiny was not enough
For him to really know his worth
He was plagued by the pressure of perfection
Finding peace at the bottom of the bottle
Although his wife and two young kids looked at him for love
They grew calloused by the father that he never was
[Chorus 1]
So what if he was there when they needed him the most?
And what if he could hinder them from wondering their worth?
What if he could take back all the empty guarantees
And be the man that he was born to be?
[Verse 2]
Born 1968, the son of an addict
Hope was dim for a brighter future
Misunderstood and overlooked, he was burdened
By the father that he never truly had
He longed to break the barrier of generations
Not finding truth in the lies he always heard
He was climbing to success, not falling to defeat
Becoming what his father tried but never could be
