Listen, my child
To what your father teaches you today
Don't neglect it
It will cover you with honor and grace
If the world will say
"Come join us. Get sidetracked"
Then you'll hear your father say
"Turn back"

The world is so full of distractions
Corruption you'll see them in their ways
Befriends you, deceives you
Pretending then leaves you
On you, they throw their wastes
Where are the better days
Where are the better days

Listen, my child
Treasure my instructions to you know
Listen clearly
For today's the day I'm gonna show you how
Cry out for wisdom
Then you'll learn what I've just said
And understand

The world is so full of distractions
Corruption you'll see them in their ways
Befriends you, deceives you
Pretending then leaves you
On you, they throw their wastes
Where are the better days
Where are the better days

We used to breathe a lot of air out here
We used to walk on streets
Unafraid of dark corners
We used to feel the warmth of a mother's care
But now, where are the better days

The world is so full of distractions
Corruption you'll see them in their ways
Befriends you, deceives you
Pretending then leaves you
On you, they throw their wastes
Where are the better days
Where are the better days
