When we was

just kids with hopes 

and dreams and parents 

Who could do anything 

and we knew right from wrong 

and we thought the world 

could be made right 

when we was

but we ain’t we no more 

them kids and them kids 

ain’t no more 

I hope there are kids today 

who still believe and hope 

they still know what’s right 

And know how to make 

the world go that way .
