(feat. Marvin Winans)




A time of innocence and love

Could we go back to how it was?

I remember when life was so simple

You did or you didn't



You would or you wouldn't

But it ain't like that anymore

I remember when life was so easy



People said what they meant

They were either for it or against

But it ain't like that anymore

Somewhere we lost the score



Bring back the days of yea and nay

When we could plainly see the way

Then it was up to us to choose

Whether to win or to lose



Bring back the times when we could see

What it was we were to be

Caught in the midst of complexity

We search for yea and nay



I remember when life was so simple

Parents were a light

Through them, we saw what was right

But it ain't like that anymore



I remember when life was so easy

Boys grew into men, little girls to women then

But it ain't like that anymore

Somewhere we lost the score



Bring back the days of yea and nay

When we could plainly see the way

Then it was up to us to choose

Whether to win or to lose



Bring back the times when we could see

What it was we were to be

Caught in the midst of complexity

We search for yea and nay



We knew where we belonged

What was right and what was wrong



Bring back the days of yea and nay

When we could plainly see the way

Then it was up to us to choose

Whether to win or to lose



Bring back the times when we could see

What it was we were to be

Caught in the midst of complexity

We search for yea and nay



Need a simple yes or no

Should I stay or should I go

Life has become so advanced

Wish I had a second chance

To go back if I could



See what was bad and what was good

Now I'm here and what I fear

Is, we won't find yea or nay
