What Have We Become? - DC Talk

A preacher shuns his brother 
Cause his bride's a different colour 
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 go 

Like an angel with no wings 
Like a kingdom with no king 

CHORUS 1: 
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? 

CHORUS 2 : 
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 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 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? 

You know it's true 
He is there for me and you 
Doesn't matter what you do 

What have we become? 
Have we come undone? 
What have we become? 
Have we come undone? 
What have we become? 

Selfish... ??? 
With selfish... ??? 
Selfish people 
When you gonna learn? 
Everyone of us 
Gathered 'round in trust 
What have we become?
