Our world is changing,
Changing so much
And the one thing that I see,
See more than anything else
Is that respect has gone.
In my youth respect was all,
You said please and thank you,
You were polite to your elders,
Gave way to ladies,
Opened doors for all.
But that has gone,
That respect no longer exists.
Occasionally I see it
And it means so much,
Means so much to me.
In my life I still try my best
And show respect to all,
Be polite to all,
But I feel very alone,
In this changing world.
