"We can widen our circle of caring."
DADS 'N BOYS
Dads 'n boys like dumb jokes
Dads 'n boys can be smart
Dads 'n boys like machinery!
Dads and boys have hearts
But it's easy to forget, ... how girls and women feel
When we learn to show off, t'prove we're "men of steel!"
It's easy to forget, ... til there's tears in her eyes
Then we notice our feelings are shut down inside
Cho:So let's wii-den, our circle of caring
Let's wii-den, we'll all have enough!
Let's wii-den our circle of caring
Widen our circle and make room for love!
Dads 'n boys can be gentle
Dads 'n boys love the arts
Dads 'n boys have big dreams
Dads 'n boys have hearts
But it's easy to forget, ... 'cause sometimes at school
We were unkind to girls, ... it was cool to be cruel
So let's not forget, the mean things that we've felt,
Or our circle of caring stays the size of our belt!
Chorus
Dads 'n boys love t'go fast!
Dads 'n boys love new toys!
Dads 'n boys hate bein' last!
Dads 'n boys make noise!
Dads 'n boys think we're kings
Dads 'n boys laugh at farts!
But when we work at caring,
We grow bigger hearts!
Cho: We can wii-den, our circle of caring
We can wii-den, we'll all have enough!
We can wii-den our circle of caring
Widen our circle and make room for love!
