Back Then Songtext
von Citizen Cope

Before the laws and the social orders
Before the calls of the lieutenant′s orders
Before the rise of pop culture
Before the guards at the borders

Before the expectations
Led to life's frustrations
Before the path to salvation
Was clouded by the deep depths of temptation

Back then
It was alright to pretend
All we really had was women
And a little shine to spend
Back then
Love had a place to stay
It wasn′t getting turned away
It took my whole life just to realize
It's just a blink away
To back then

Back then


Back then

Back then

Holy sons, holy daughters
Holy sisters, holy brothers
Holy skies, holy waters
For those who came before us
On the way to what come before us

Before the expectations
Led to life's frustrations
Before the path to salvation
Was clouded by the deep depths of temptation


Back then
It was alright to pretend
All we really had was women
And a little shine to spend
Back then
Love had a place to stay
It wasn′t getting turned away
It took my whole life just to realize
It′s just a blink away
To back then

Back then

Back then

Back then

Back then

Back then
