Broken Dreams
In this world of broken dreams with visions all aglow,
have you ever asked yourself from here where do I go?
Crime and violence are everywhere and sex is used to sell;
love is now a four letter word and to some there is no hell.
Babies are having babies and Dad's are fading fast.
Something has got to change somehow or this "society" isn't going to last.
What happened to love your neighbor? Now we lust for the neighbor's wife.
What happened to honor your parents? Now kids take their parent's life.
What happened to all the heroes? who now leads the way?
Jesus died for us on Mt.Calvary, but the devil now rules the day.
