I've read the book of mysteries And pondered by the sea About a world broke in two And how it came to be When guidelines set before us From the ancient of days In time we took the easy road And went out our own way
Too many people Living in darkness and fear Too many faces Refusing to look in the mirror Too many leaders Forgetting the foundation laid Too many preachers Forgetting the price that was paid
And through the ages We have seen morality decay The way the world the flesh the devil Has pulled us all astray We turned our backs on righteousness We are men with out guile We spared the rod spoiled the child We're living in a world gone wild
And the world is spinning out of our control Our liberties and justice all but gone And as liberalism flourished and abound We flew the flag of our own choice And wonder what went wrong
