And this is not acceptable his Papa taught him so It was love that he'd been preaching, but this was overreaching The boundaries stretched further than his heart would choose to go Like a kingdom with no king 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 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 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 She wasn't worth their while What about God? What about holiness? What about mercy, compassion and selflessness? |
