lyrics

We read the news and all we see, another coked up celebrity
The fortune, the fame, the drugs and the shame
Can we justify the risk, was it worth the gain?
Whatever happened to integrity? The product of a perverse society
We share the myth of our broken moral code
Long since eroded beneath the mold

What have we done? Where did we go wrong?
God knows we'll do damn near anything just to get along
Where is the love? Is it dead and gone?
I can only pray that we find a way to carry on
For a brand new dawn

Wrapped up in a technological spread
Keep playing with your phones, they're your only friend
Even on the radio this madness has been strewn
Where talent is fabricated by autotune
Seems we've got a new standard of flirtation
But for goodness sake, leave something to the imagination
There was a time when people could understand
But that's in the past, it's out of our hands

What have we done? Where did we go wrong?
God knows we'll do damn near anything just to get along
Where is the love? Is it dead and gone?
I can only pray that we find a way to carry on
For a brand new dawn

I'm thankful for the few whose paths I've crossed
For those who've shown me that all is not lost
There's a larger picture, from near to far
How will the here and now affect what's yet to come?

What have we done? Where did we go wrong?
God knows we'll do damn near anything just to get along
Where is the love? Is it dead and gone?
I can only pray that we find a way to carry on
For a brand new dawn
For a brand new dawn
