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
