Remember How It Used To Be

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world Where poverty doesn't exist and hate no longer ruled Where our children could play side by side And not have to worry or try to run and hide A world where you and I could be friends Where all of us can easily make amends Go back to a time if you can or are able When you seen the world as a story or fable When you were small and in school Did you care who was green purple or blue Did you ever have a problem playing a child's game We all jumped rope and played catch the same Do you remember your first crush And when that person walked by how you would blush It's not that hard as you can see To make it better for you and for me What we all need to do at times it seems Is to remember that school yard and remember your dreams But most of all I hope you all can try to see Do your best to remember how it used to be
