A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he'd been preaching,
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretching further
Than his heart would chose to go
Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king
What have we become
A self indulgent people
What have we become
Tell me where are the righteous ones
What have we become
In a world degenerating
What have we become
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were it's what you have become
Mom and Dad are fighting
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a-ringing
Lil' Rosie'd leave them grieving
The gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take
An inconvenient child
She wasn't worth their while
What about love?
What about God?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion, and selflessness?
