look how far we've come

so this is where we stand
crossing streets and your heart in my hands
when did we lower standards of living?
when did start to accept less than what we deserve?
you've mastered the art of forgiveness and
she must be wonderful at forgetting.
it used to be easier than this.
i've begun to question the human race.
what are we worth? where is our faith?
it got lost amongst the terror of death
of living..of breathing...breathe in hope.
this is the last great protest and you soon will know
what we've become. we've all fallen.
