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 choose to go.
Like an angel with no wings.
Like a kingdom with no king.
Chorus:
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?
Bridge: 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 come from.
It ain’t what you were it’s what you’ve become.
Mom and Dad are fighting as Rosa lies there crying.
Once again she’s overheard regrets their mistake.
The Christmas Bells a - ringing, will Rosa leave them grieving?
The gift she gives her family is the pills she’d take.
An inconvenient child.
She wasn’t worth their while.
(Repeat Chorus)
What about love?
What about God?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?
(Repeat Chorus)
Since I Met You
Was at the end of my rope, I had nowhere to go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show
Until the day I turned to You, was at the end
You call me crazy, man you make my day
My state of residence was disarray
At every party and as far as anybody knew - everything was cool, but
The truth was bottled up inside of me
I was as lonely as a man could be
And my 200 friends couldn't fill the void in my soul
It was a giant hole
Nothing made any sense
I thought there would never be an end
Then love came knocking at my door
(chorus)
Since I met You I've been alright
You turn all my darkness into light
Since I met You I've been okay, I've been alright
Since I met You I've been okay
You're rolling my winter into may
Since I met You I've been alright
Been okay, been okay
You got me feeling like a million bucks
Some people write it up as Irish luck
But I know better, Cause my rabbit's foot never did me a bit of good
The truth hit me like a sock in the eye
A revelation that I can't deny
Your love has overtaken every little part of me
You were what I needed
I'm carried away
Never seen the sunshine like today
You made something of my life
(repeat chorus)
Sick and tired of the same ol' fluff
You took me in and You shook me up
You got me tripping on a vision of eternity
I can see it clearly
DJ - You mean the world to me. I just hope that one day I can show you in person how much you've changed my life for the better, just being you and taking the time to love me. :) I love you, baby.
