Good People

What happened to the days

when we were proud to be adults

um um um um

And go out into the world

Proud to get a job

And earn our own way

What happened to the days

When folks

Would shovel the elderly neighbors

Walkway. Um um

(Short flute solo)

I don’t know where those days went

Seems to me

Some have lost touch with humanity

I don’t know why some folks don’t care

But you see it everywhere

You go

What happened to holding the door

And letting someone go before us

Yes sir

What happened to being polite and saying

Please

And

Thank you

(Short flute solo)

I don’t know where those days went

Seems to me

Some have lost touch with humanity

I don’t know why some folks don’t care

But you see it everywhere

You go

Bring back the days for me

When people had manners and respect

Um um

What happened to the days when

Kids would help their Mama carry in the groceries

What happened to the days when you’d help someone who fell

Instead of filming them with your phone

Is it more important to go viral

Than to care about another human being

(Flute and violin)

I don’t know where those days went

Seems to me

Some have lost touch with humanity

I don’t know why some folks don’t care

But you see it everywhere

You go

(Violin)

What we need to do is go back to raising our children up to be good people um um

It’s our job as parents to raise our kids to not just know what’s right

But to

Do

What’s right

Ummm ummmm. Ummm

Ooooo

Umm

Ummmmummm
