What Have We Become (10th Anniversary Version)

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 stretchin' further

Than his heart would choose to goLike an angel with no wings

Like a kingdom with no kingWhat 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 becomeMom and Dad are fightin'

As Rosie lies there crying

For once again she's overheard

Regrets of their mistake

With Christmas bells a-ringing

Little Rosie'd leave them grieving The gift she'd give her family

Would be the pills she'd takeAn inconvenient child

She wasn't worth their while(repeat choruses 1 and 2)What about love?

What about God?

What about holiness?

What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?You know it's true

He is there for me and you

Doesn't matter what you do(repeat chorus 1)What have we become?

Have we come undone?

What have we become?

Have we come undone?

What have we become?(repeat chorus 2)Selfish...

With selfish...

Selfish people

When you gonna learn?

Everyone of us

Gathered 'round in trust

What have we become?
