THE WAY WE WERE.......

THE WAY WE WERE

IT'S TIMES LIKE THESE.....

I'VE HEARD IT SAID

ARE UNLIKE THE TIMES OF OLD.

WHERE BROTHER KILLS BROTHER

JUST TO GET THE COCAINE SOLD.

IT'S TIMES LIKE THESE.....

UNLIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS,

WHERE OUR CHILDREN

WATCH SEX AND MURDER

THEIR YOUNG MINDS PUSHED IN THE GUTTER.

IT'S TIMES LIKE THESE.....

WHERE THE PAST HAS DIED

AND NO ONE REALLY CARES FOR THE OTHER,

ONLY TO CARE FOR THE BMW

AND TO SEE HOW MUCH WE CAN GATHER.

IT'S TIMES LIKE THESE.....

UNLIKE THE DAYS GONE BY,

WHERE TERROISTS ARE BEGINNING TO RULE,

AND COUNTRIES FIGHT

TO SEE WHO CAN GAIN NUKE POWER,

AND MAKE THE MOST OIL AND FUEL.

IT'S TIMES LIKE THESE.....

NOT AT ALL LIKE OUR ANCESTOR'S PAST,

WHERE PRAYER HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SCHOOLS

AND THE BIBLE'S WORDS ARE

SHUNNED AND SPIT ON, JUST TO MAKE IT UNCOOL.

IT'S TIMES LIKE THOSE.....

THE WAY WE WERE,

WHERE A SIMPLE LIFE AND HARD WORK,

GAVE YOU SATISFACTION EACH DAY,

AND NOT A CHILD AT SCHOOL,

WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T PRAY.

PEOPLE WOULD SALUTE THE FLAG,

AND HOLD IT DEAR TO THEIR HEART,

BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS

GOD'S COUNTRY, RIGHT FROM THE VERY START.
