Lyrics
What Have We Become
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
a preacher shuns his brother
cuz his bride's a different color
and this is not acceptable
his papa taught him so
it was love that he'd been preachin
but this was overreachin'
the boundaries stretchin'
farther than his heart would choose 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 become
speak your mind
look out for yourself
the answer to it all
is a life of wealth
grab all you can
cuz you just live once
you got the right
to do whatever you want
don't worry 'bout 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
christmas bells are ringing
little rosie leaves them grieving
the gift she'll give her family
will be the pills she'd take
an inconvenient child
she wasn't worth their while
chorus
what about love?
what about God?
what about holiness?
what about mercy, compassion and
selflessness?
