Where Did the Good Go?

[Verse 1]
Back in the day, we held doors wide
Said "please" and "thank you" with a little pride
Helped our neighbors, lent a hand
Built this world on a promise and a man's good stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I scroll through silence loud
Kindness lost in the shouting crowd
And I ask myself when the lights get low--
[Chorus]
Where did the good go, where did we stray?
What happened to hearts that led the way?
Our children need a better road
So where did the good go?
[Verse 2]
Mama taught me, "Speak the truth, don't cheat"
But now we're fed lies from the heads of the elite
Trading honor for power plays
While the world forgets the kinder ways
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a spark in a young child's eyes
A chance to rise, a chance to try
Let's show 'em love before it's all for show--
[Chorus]
Where did the good go, where did we stray?
What happened to hearts that led the way?
Our children need a better road
So where did the good go?
[Bridge]
It starts at home, in how we speak
In standing tall, but staying meek
One small act, then let it grow
'Cause we all know...
[Final Chorus]
We are the good, we are the light
Let's teach 'em wrong don't make it right
They need the truth more than a show
So let's bring the good home
[Outro]
Yeah, the good's not gone, just hard to show--
But we're the ones who make it grow.
