Where Have The Old Days Gone

I remember me and my friends playing in the schoolyard

Playing silly games making up the rules

Then I would walk on home all by myself

Cause back then we didn't worry 'bout no strangers

I would get to my house there were no locked doors

Never worried about freaks or predators hangin around

We fought with our fists nobody pulled a gun

Just get a bloody nose and take off and run

But nowadays everything has changed, violence everywhere

A state of disrepair

Tell me where have the old days gone

Can we bring em back where they belong

It wouldn't take too long it's easy to see where we went wrong

We sat around playing records with our friends next door

And the only one rappin' was the local store

And now we turn on the news and the worlds on fire

And if we wanna be safe we need the One much higher

Tell me where the old days have gone

Can we bring em back where they belong

It wouldn't take too long it's easy to see where we went wrong

We let Him down but he never went away

Let's bring back the Son and seize the day...

Oh and I'm tellin' you how it used to be

We would pray out in the open

Without a legal fee

Tell me where have the old days gone

Can we bring em back where they belong

It wouldn't take too long

it's easy to see where we went wrong

We let Him down but he never went away

Let's bring back the Son and seize the day...
