The Values Of This Land

When did we no longer care
For the values of this land
What happened to the love we shared
For our fellow man

Do we still believe in right and wrong
Can we ever make a stand
When someone is about to fall
Do we lend a helping hand

Do our actions ever bother us
Does our word not mean a thing
Can we tell a lie without regret
Do we care if we are mean

Can we see the pain upon the face
Of our friend that is in need
Have we made the world a better place
With the life that we now lead

What happened to the love we shared
For our fellow man
And when did we no longer care
For the values of this land
