A Generation

A generation thats been inspired Has left a lot to be desired With sex and drugs on rampage wild What have we taught to our child What we thought was better for sure Has left our children unclean not pure And we dont understand why Why is skin all we see when we turn on the TV And why is our happiness measured By wealth by fame by all thats treasured Here on earth Liberate us oh we cried now to us a dream has died With our perception of what we were Now in the minds our children stir And wrestle with overwhelming thought Of not questioning what is taught to them Where does Christ fit in this equation All we wanted was a sensation So threw we Christ in the garbage can Stood on our own denied his plan Building houses in the sand Trying hard to make our stand We left a generation jaded why are you mad Its what we created we did this to our foundation And subjected a generation to the need for self gratification And we dont understand why why have our lusts Become more important than trust And why by worldly things seduced Leaving us only more confused What ever happened to respect And pain and anguish not to subject Me Me Me is all I hear can you incline yourself To a higher ear and listen Listen to them cry out loud Were a generation thats been bound By your fleeting emotional ideals Did you ever think of how wed feel Trying to live in this mess you made for us I see it all around me now The outcome of these ideals how we made a big mistake So what can be the solution onward with the evolution Of our minds what will we find What will become of this nation When the youth of this jaded generation Grow up why have we slid away From morals we held from yesterday When families had more to do Then running by or passing though Can we ever reclaim the time So far away from the mind And turn back our eyes on Christ Jesus Im crying out for a world thats broken Who profess love but by the same token Blasphemy you and who you are Their minds are there but hearts are far away They do not understand Why you came here as a man And instead of acquiring knowledge theyre tiring They do not persevere because they do not revere Your name and who you are Because they are far away Jesus help us here I pray To look back to our yesterday And realize while we were professing To be wise we became fools in disguise Will we Lord make the choice to listen To your still small voice and save this jaded generation
