Point of View (featuring Bernie Nelson, lead vocals)

A young man was talking to an old man
Down on 16th Avenue
He said "They're gonna build a condo there
In a month or two
I'm glad to see them cleaning up
These shacks on Music Row
Tearing down the eyesores
So that the town can grow

Sometimes you know the old
Has to give way to the new
It all depends on your point of view

The old man spoke and he said
"Son I bet you didn't know
Kris wrote "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
In that old bungalo"
Over there is where the Possum sang
"He stopped Loving Her Today"
That bar is where Waylon
And the Outlaws used to play

Sometimes you have to keep the old
To give meaning to the new
It all depends on your point of view

Once it's gone it's gone forever
You can't bring it back
There's no way to build a future
By burying the past

The young man turned and walked away
Shaking his head
But there was truth in the words
That old man had said
How can we tell our children
Of what we did here today
How will they know their history
If we just throw it away

As the wrecking ball came swinging down
A thought came breaking through
Sometimes it's good to change
Your point of view
