Where Have The Old Days Gone-John Elefante

[00:09.90]I remember me and my friends playing in the schoolyard [00:15.23]Playing silly games, making up the rules [00:20.12]Then I would walk on home all by myself [00:25.17]‘Cause back then we didn’t worry about no strangers [00:30.30]I would get to my house, there were no locked doors [00:34.48]Never worried about freaks or predators hangin’ around [00:40.31]We fought with our fists, nobody pulled a gun [00:45.15]Just get a bloody nose and take off and run [00:52.14]But nowadays everything has changed [00:55.68]Violence everywhere, a state of disrepair [01:01.33]Tell me, where have the old days gone? [01:06.70]Can we bring ‘em back where they belong? [01:12.07]It wouldn’t take too long [01:16.80]It’s easy to see where we went wrong [01:40.85]We sat around playing records with our friends next door [01:46.08]And the only one rappin’ was the local store [01:53.03]And now we turn on the news and the world’s on fire [01:57.54]And if we wanna be safe, we need the One much higher [02:02.26]Tell me, where have the old days gone? [02:07.60]Can we bring ‘em back where they belong? [02:12.97]It wouldn’t take too long [02:17.71]It’s easy to see where we went wrong [02:23.15]We let Him down, but He never went away [02:27.76]Let’s bring back the Son and seize the day [03:28.74]Oh, and I’m telling you how it used to be [03:32.37]We would pray out in the open without a legal fee [03:38.06]So tell me, where have the old days gone? [03:43.67]Can we bring ‘em back where they belong? [03:49.05]It wouldn’t take too long [03:53.77]It’s easy to see where we went wrong [03:59.16]We let Him down, but He never went away [04:03.93]Let’s bring back the Son and seize the day [04:14.25]It wouldn’t take too long [04:18.83]It’s easy to see where we went wrong [04:24.31]We let Him down, but He never went away [04:29.04]Let’s bring back the Son and seize the day
