about

This is an oldie goldie [Brazil 1975], and it shows it's age in the lyrics and word-pictures.--I probably shouldn't have included it, and I won't be offended if you fast-forward it! But it does speak truth that is still relevant, even if times have changed and the examples are not the most up-to-date. I believe that we have to be careful in accepting the 'new' that we don't jettison important truths and voices from the past that continue being more accurate than what is being spoken in our ears in this age. There is a wisdom that we have abandoned in our search for exciting new stimulation, and change is good only when it is for the better, not for the worse.

lyrics

I remember at the table
Fifteen children and just one daddy,
Now that daddies don't want children,
Or at most just one or two.
I remember how they used
The old church house for a school;
Now the schools won't let a Bible
Pass inside their chilly doors.

Chorus:
How the world has changed in only one generation.
They say it's for the better, but they know it's growing cold,
And Salvation is slipping through their fingers
As they turn their backs and close their ears
To what the prophets all have told.

I remember when the babies
Were delivered by the doctors.
Now the doctors all are surgeons,
Making doors where doors don't go.
I remember when the children
Were instructed by their parents.
Now the TV is the parents,
Teaching violence and crime.

Chorus:
How the world has changed in only one generation.
They say it's for the better, but they know it's growing cold,
And Salvation is slipping through their fingers
As they turn their backs and close their ears
To what the prophets all have told.
[repeat]

As they turn their backs and close their ears
To what the prophets all have told.
