What happened to the days
When God Bless followed a sneeze
When a Request was followed by
Please
When we played out in the rain
And it was safer
Than video games
God Bless Died
Don’t blame the children
It came from you and me
What happened to the days
When there weren’t so many rules
Our mistakes
Were part of our youth
As one big family
Neighbors weren’t strangers
It’s called humanity
Chorus
What happened to the days
When elders got respect
And we listened
To their intellect
When we always took the time
To help those
Without a dime
Every generation
Has the same complaint
They think their children
Are the first to go astray
We got to live and learn
As the world passes by
To keep our strengths
And pass them down the line
Chorus
