WHAT WE ONCE WERE, CAN BE..

WHAT WE ONCE WERE, CAN BE..

© by ROBBY BOWLING

We once were a nation of doers

We have now forsaken that creed

The lust for power has taken us nowhere

But into this land full of Greed

We once revered the quest for knowledge

But Truth is no longer our goal

We now seem content with filth & squalor

I guess we now share a Parasites Soul

We once fought for our lives & honor

But now we fight for nothing at all

What little that's left is an illusion

We've seen the rise so is this the fall

We once had our dreams & prayers

They've all now been squandered for hate

Has evil ripped out the once healthy heart

And the hour-glass suggests its too late

All we have left is each other

And together we all share some blame

But together we can stand up just once more

We shouldn't have to die with this shame

The Devil himself has played his part

And his disciples now rule this land

This is no longer a life worth living

It is past time to take our last stand

What we once were, we can be again

But we need faith to believe

But to not try is the greatest sin

And if we'd only open up our eyes & see
