Lyrics
Back in the days we would pull together
Back in the days we would share whatever
Back in the days, back in the days, back in the days
In the days, in the days
How we changed
For the worst
Can love lift the curse?
What happened to the days when people really cared
And trust in one another
What happened to the love we shared
You called me sister and I called you brother
And I was just thinking how we think nothing
'Bout fighting our own kin
That's really messed up friend
I think that hate
Has changed our fate
What happened to our plans and dreams
Now they're only plots and schemes
Can we go back to those days of milk and honey
When love meant more than money
(Back in the days we would share whatever)
Can we go back to the days of bright and sunny
When love meant more than money
(You were my sunshine)
When a friend was in need
We'd show ourselves to be (A friend in deed) a friend in deed
We never ever let each other down
We gave a hand to hold so that we would always be around
Sometimes we'd even wear each other clothes
I'd sneeze and before I could you'd wipe my nose
Seems like then we were heaven bound
Now we're a lost generation
Can we be found?
Oh, Can we go back to those days of milk and honey
When love meant more than money
Can we go back to those days of bright and sunny
When love meant more than money
When we were young
We dreamed our dreams
We were one in the spirit
We had hope in our hearts and faith in our eyes
Now you don't even wanna hear it, you don't wanna hear it
But I know that we need to go back to those days of milk and honey
When love meant more than money, more than money
Can we go back to the days of bright and sunny
When love meant more than money
Remember when we cared, remember when we shared
Oh, I know we need to get back, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, we need to get back, yeah
We need to go back, yes
When it was so beautiful
When we were so careful
When I would look out for you and you look out for me
We were one big happy family
We need to go back, yes
Can we, can we, can we
Can we
Can we
Can we go back, can we go back
I'm willing to try, I'm willing to try
But I can't do it all by myself
I need my brother I'm talking to you
I need my sister talking to you
