Within my imagination
I dream of times long past
When life seemed so romantic
And love would always last
And then I start to wonder
Why are things so different now
Why have people changed so much
Where are our values now
There was a time when men were men
And women were treated like ladies
When people worked together
And wives would raise the babies
But now, a man might slam a door
Right in a woman's face
And women curse like sailors
Instead of having grace
I guess that I'm a romantic
Those times seem long gone by
People don't even seem to care
If they see a woman or child cry
There's violence in our world today
I think it makes God sad
To see a man beat a woman or child
Just because he's mad
People in our world today
Don't think about what they do
I think we need God back in our lives
Maybe you do too
So men, please lets be gentlemen
You women act like ladies
And remember that children learn what they live
Lets be good to all those babies.
