"Daddy Didn't Raise You That Way"

You've been through a lot
So have we all my brothers
But you don't have to stop
Believing because we haven't gone under

I don't understand it
Suddenly you've lost faith
How can you abandon
The truth for lies and the whims of fate?

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Except for... Daddy didn't raise you that way
I know it's up to you
I know I don't have a say
Except for... Daddy didn't raise you that way

I know it's been hard for a long time
You're not the only ones who feel the pain
Your paths aren't any harder than mine
But through it all my faith has not changed

I don't understand it
Suddenly you've lost faith
How can you abandon
The truth for lies and the whims of fate?

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Except for... Daddy didn't raise you that way
I know it's up to you
I know I don't have a say
Except for... Daddy didn't raise you that way

Maybe he's watching
I wonder what he would say?
I'll keep on believing
That WE will see him again someday

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Except for... Daddy didn't raise you that way
I know it's up to you
I know I don't have a say
Except for... Daddy didn't raise you that way

No he didn't...

Youve got something here. The lyrics are strong and the hook is epic. Only line I would change is or maybe hes not but anyway, I dont know what to change it to, but wheras the rest of the lyrics hold up like steel, that but anyway bends like rubber

Yeah, I thought so too, but I couldn't think of anything else to make the rhyme work out. I'll give it some thought. Thanks for your suggestions and your praise.

Changed it. I think it's a lot better now.

Good job

The chorus is great.Now write some verses of equal awesomeness!

The verses are the best I could come up with for this particular song. This song is very personal and describes a true story that is still yet unfolding in my life. I really can't find the proper words for the verses, but for what's already there.
