What Have We Become? Lyrics - Jesus Freak - Dc Talk

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 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 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 

(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?
