Turning Back The Clock
the old days were really good
going through your neighborhood
leaving doors unlocked for neighbors
to walk through if they need favors
or to visit for some fun
when did this whole world become
so scary and out of sync
people need to stop and think
about the way we are living
and realize we should be giving
more love, joy and peace to others
we used to be sisters and brothers
helping out whenever needed
please tell me whatever leaded
to the downfall of these gestures
that were like miracle fixtures
if someone was out and down
a helping hand just came around
to pick you up and hold onto
making sure to see you through
the tough times that made you fall
now there are just hateful walls
being built for us to see
this can't be our destiny
