Good Old Days

Tell me now
I really wanna know right now
Ooh

Whatever happened to the good old days
When to serve Jah was our desire?
The good old days
When we respected our brothers and sisters
The good old days
When our mothers were still with our fathers
The good old days
When there was peace and love with our neighbors

Now, everyday is just a fuss and fight
And ninja sight, dem deh ting deh no right
My greatest wish is to see us unite
And stop the killing and the fussing and fighting
And everyday another youth man die
Will someone tell me the reason why?
There's no respect for human life
Always living in strife

What happened to the good old days?
When we pray for a blessing we would ask Jah
The good old days
When we would always refer to the master
The good old days
You know, the fruits of the wicked can't prosper
The good old days
Soon they will end up in sudden disaster

Now, everyday I hear people cry
And there is no one to give them advice
Help dem, Jah, I pray
Guide and protect them and show them the way
And everyday I wonder why, why?
Why another baby cry?
We need to get back our frame of mind
Oh, our frame of mind

The good old days
When to serve Jah was our desire
The good old days
When we respected our brothers and sisters
The good old days
When our mothers were still with our fathers
The good old days
When we had peace and love for our neighbors

Ooh, I really wanna know right now
I've got to know right now
Tell me, tell me
I really wanna know right now
Got to know right now

Whatever happened to the good old days
When every man was his brother's keeper?
The good old days
Back then the love we shared was deeper
The good old days, na-na-na
When the zeal that we had was stronger
The good old days
When the planter was also the reaper
The good old days
When to serve Jah was our desire
The good old days
When we respected our brothers and sisters
The good old days
