I Want You Back Home Like You Used To be
by
Grace M Straley
We used to be such REAL GOOD FRIENDS!
We’d sit and talk till night time ends.
You’d sing and dance & the clothes you wore
Would make me laugh and beg for more!
We’d go to the meetings, you’d put on your suit
You’d comb your hair and look so cute!
You’d give me a hug and say you loved me.
“I want you back home like you used to be!”
You got involved in music that’s LOUD
“Heavy Metal” , it’s called to you & your crowd.
“Iron Maiden”, “Wasp” & “Slayer” and “Kiss”
With leather clothing, & leather on wrists.
It changed your personality so much so
That I cry sometimes, cause you WANTED to go.
You want to be on your own, you say.
“I may make mistakes, but I’ll do it my way,
Your not responsible for what I do-----
I can wear my hair----any way I want to!”
Son, don’t you know, your part of my LIFE
Like Dad and I, who are husband and Wife
We know how twisted this world has become
We can’t stand the thought of LOSING OUR SON!
What’s wrong with wanting your hair neat & clean?
Or asking “How are you?” or “How have you been?”
What’s wrong with wanting you, out of a crowd
Where music’s Satanic and people are loud.
What’s wrong with caring & teaching the truth?
And sharing the Bible as living proof
That God cares about us, and wants us to know
He’ll always be with us, if we only show
Our Love & Obedience to Him and His Son
Who gave us His life, so God’s will would be done.
You have a need in your heart to help others.
You treat your friends like they are your brothers
But Son, they too, need to know God’s Will.
Learning the Truth, can be quite a thrill
MANY have changed, ‘cause they studied God’s Word’
They read & believed all the things that they heard.
We long so to have you------also believe.
We don’t want Satan---your heart to deceive.
And Son, you admit, that ‘Slayer’s on pot’
Doing God’s Will, they’re certainly not!
Do you think that God will really accept
Conduct like that, which shows no respect!
What can I tell you that you haven’t heard?
How can I MAKE YOU love God’s Written Word?
My heart is crying----Oh son can’t you see
“I Want You Back Home Like You used to be!”
