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
âCause back then we didnât worry about no strangers
I would get to my house, there were no locked doors
Never worried about freaks or predators hanginâ 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 âem back where they belong?
It wouldnât take too long
Itâs easy to see where we went wrong
We sat around playing records with our friends next door
And the only one rappinâ was the local store
And now we turn on the news and the worldâs 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 âem back where they belong?
It wouldnât take too long
Itâs easy to see where we went wrong
We let Him down, but He never went away
Letâs bring back the Son and seize the day
Oh, and Iâm 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 âem back where they belong?
It wouldnât take too long
Itâs easy to see where we went wrong
We let Him down, but He never went away
Letâs bring back the Son and seize the day
It wouldnât take too long
Itâs easy to see where we went wrong
We let Him down, but He never went away
Letâs bring back the Son and seize the day
