Where Have the Old Days Gone
John Elefante

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 about 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 world’s on fire
And if we wanna be safe, we need the One much higher

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

Oh, and I’m telling you how it used to be
We would pray out in the open without a legal fee

So 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

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

  All I Have To Do   Confess   Corridors   Eyes of My Heart   Fall   Love One Another   Not Just Any Other Day   On My Way to the Sun   Pass the Flame   Treasures of Heaven   We All Fall Short
