Lyrics

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

God Bless Died
Don't Blame the children
It came from you and me

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 Bridge
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
