Lyric Sign Of The Times

My daddy told me stories about how this country was when he was just a kid
How people took the time to care
and took alot of pride in the things they did
And I can t help but wonder
What happened to that spirit
Down through the years
Is it something we ve forgotten
Or something that we just don t want to hear

Chorus:

It s a sign of the times we re in
When we can t find the time to help a friend
Or show a little more compassion too
The problems in each others lives
We re more concerned with makin money
Than stayin home lovin our family
And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times

I you need to borrow money now
They want to know how many assets you can claim
It s not like it was back years ago
When grandpa borrowed money simply on his name
And it sure does seem a pity
But a man s word don t count for much here anymore
And I wish I could turn the clock back to
The way my daddy said it was before

Chorus: (twice)

And I wish I could change the things I see
In the signs of the times
