KIDS OLD TO NEW

 SCHOOL IS OUT AS IT IS THE END OF THE DAY

YOU TALK TO YOUR FREIND BEFORE YOU GET ON YOUR WAY

FOR IT MIGHT BE A MILE WALK BEFORE YOU GET HOME

AND THERE WASN'T TIME TO STOP AT THE LAKE JUST TO THROW A STONE

FOR THERE IS WORK THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE

BEFORE WE EVEN THOUGHT OF HAVING ANY FUN

NOW MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED US BYE

AS YOU SIT AND LISTEN TO THE KIDS AS THEY CRY

THE CELL PHONE IS DEAD THEY CAN'T TEX THEIR FREIND

TO LET THEM KNOW JUST HOW BAD THEIR DAY HAS BEEN

IT IS EIGHT B;OCKS TO WHERE THEY LIVE

AND CAN'T BELIEVE THST MOM DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO GIVE

FOR THEY WANT TO ROME IN THE HALLS AT THE MALL

AND TALK TO THEIR FREINDS THINKING THIS IS A BALL

BUT IF YOU GAVE THE KIDS A SHOVEL AND ASK  FOR HELP

THEY WOULD HOLLER CHILD ABRUSE AS IF YOU GAVE THEM A BELT

TIME HAS CHANGE WE WONDER IF IT IS FOR THE BEST

AS WE WILL LEARN THE ANSWER AT THE END OF OUR QUEST
