Start at Home

[Intro]
Wake up, hear the call, it's time to take a stand
Train a child with your own hands, lay the roots in the sand

[Verse 1]
They're sending kids out into the world, no guide, no map in hand
Expecting teachers to fix what parents didn't plan
Respect isn't given, it’s earned through what you show
Lead by example, let it start at home, let it grow

[Pre-Chorus]
Responsibility starts with you, with what you do and say
Teach them right from wrong, don’t let them slip away
Fill their hearts with kindness, their minds with what’s true
It’s your duty, your honor, to raise them right, not just send them through

[Chorus]
Stop breaking your children, don't leave them to fall
Teach them respect, responsibility for all
It’s not the school's job to raise your child alone
Start at home, build a good heart, make a better world known

[Verse 2]
Not just about rules, but the love behind the words
Respect yourself, respect others, let your voice be heard
Parents, it’s your role, don’t shift the blame around
Plant the seeds of virtue, till they grow strong and sound

[Pre-Chorus]
Responsibility starts with you, with what you do and say
Teach them right from wrong, don’t let them slip away
Fill their hearts with kindness, their minds with what’s true
It’s your duty, your honor, to raise them right, not just send them through

[Chorus]
Stop breaking your children, don't leave them to fall
Teach them respect, responsibility for all
It’s not the school's job to raise your child alone
Start at home, build a good heart, make a better world known

[Bridge]
No more excuses, the time is now
Take the stand, show them how
Respect and love, they’re not just words
They’re the future, they’re the cure

[Outro]
It starts inside your doors, where love and lessons flow
Shape a world of hope and peace, let true respect grow
