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?
