All the good men

All the good men

C.B. Grove, C. Nel

Chorus

Broken lives all this a result of broken families, thieves hustlers gangster hijackers are all able to make a change, make a change and stop the evil every mans conscience convicts him of his sin and evil, changed lives all this in mind its possible

I looked out my side window to see what my countrymen are up to, walk in the streets of Durban fear for my shoes in the urban. Young kids sniffing glue no hopes, no dreams just glue, no future no lives in sight, living one day at a time hope to survive. Where the parents at? Died of AIDS or just ran away, abandon their young on the side of the street left with no guidance or guardians. Where have all the good men gone? Lost to the western world lost to the lure of cars and big house and strip bars, lost their culture, lost their roots and most of all lost their family values. I’m writing music from my countrymen. I got a message for you all but first answer this question… where have all the good men gone?

Chorus

The vicious circles of child abuse a figurative noose choking the live out of our countries people. Born in Africa as a white man just as African as you, we all have one thing in common we all have the same maker and that’s my God. I don’t know about you but my ancestor is not a monkey, life does have meaning and so your life does too. No matter what colour or what race God’s face does shine upon us He placed upon a value and a purpose, your life is worth it stop the family abuse, fathers stop running away and face the consequences of your actions, learn to respect learn to love, fear God and all will be good lets build up our neighbourhood, where have all the good men gone?

Where have all the good men gone? What ever happened to believing right instead of wrong? Where have all the good men gone? If we stand for nothing what have we become?

Greed and pride the big killer, you want to be proud watch out your fall will come soon, black pride is not the answer its only fast way to segregation of this beautiful nation. Let me tell you how to go forward. Learn to value yourself and you will respect others, when you believe in yourself you believe in others, put others needs above yours, love your neighbour as you love yourself this is not pride but self worth, look deep within and find hope, learn to hold on learn to cope with God on your side who can be against you? There is truth there is absolute don’t believe the lies of evolution we are made with a purpose, where have all the good men gone? This nation is crying out for fathers of responsibility who is with me, who is with me!!?
