Too Many

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
