I Remember

I remember the times where the days were not so long.

I remember those days when all it took was a song.

To put you back on your feet walking again.

I remember those days when it was easier to actually

win.

I remember those days when times were not so hard.

When people held on to their identities as tight as their 

Social Security Card.

I remember those days when the air was so clear.

Where back in the day pollution was the last thing we 

would fear.

I remember those days where the world was not on 

the dark side of the moon.

Where it was hard to see the sun but you know it would shine

bright someday soon.

I remember way back when where it wasn't so hard to breathe.

I seem to recall days where it was not so hard to believe.

But now it seems to me that spirits have broken.

Hearts have remained quiet and no longer outspoken.

Tongues have been caught up in twisters and are now tied.

Up so no words are said, everything is kept inside.

See i remember those days when people believed they'd be free.

I remember those days where we were not afraid to speak!

See i remember those days quite clear its damn near vivid.

I see in high definition now you wouldn't believe the clarity. 

See i remember those days as if it were yesterday

But yesterday has gone and and tomorrow may never come.

But i will keep my head up. You see because i feel there is a reason

to smile. 

I feel there is a reason to remember what some have forgotten.

I do my best to live righteously with every chance i get.

In some instances i get caught slipping even falling into cracks. 

As well as being lost at times.

But i know the lord has a spot light in place when i cant find my way.

See i remember those days where people held on to a little something called 

Faith.

I guess those days has come and gone.

But when will they return because its you old days....

Its you i long for, its you i yearn for...
