There was a time, when fields were green and wild
Children played on dusty roads, hearts ran mile to mile
Grandpa's tales were golden, under the southern sky
Sweet tea and laughter, never questioned why
Momma's hands were calloused, from the kitchen stove
Evening train's whistle, it meant the world was whole
Daddy worked the land, no need for fancy things
Sunsets painted promises, brought us simple dreams
But now the world's gone to shit, we don't know what's right
We traded truth for money, lost our inner light
The songs we used to sing, now echo in the void
Long for the days when love couldn't be destroyed
We used to gather 'round the fire, stories 'fore we'd sleep
Faith was our companion, promises to keep
Sense of right and wrong, felt like the air we breathed
Now it's all confusion nothing to believe
Neighbors knew each other, fences didn't rise
Sundays in the chapel, peace within our eyes
Now we're just a number, lost in some machine
Hearts are disconnected, no one intervenes
But now the world's gone to shit, we don't know what's right
We traded truth for money, lost our inner light
The songs we used to sing, now echo in the void
Long for the days when love couldn't be destroyed
