LyricsWhere Did the Good Go?Yves Stilmant © 2025 Country Pop / Mid-Tempo / Radio-Ready [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. |
