Tell me have we learned
From the past, from the past
Why do we see hurt
Then turn our backs, turn our backs

Is there any hope
A thousand words can't say
Politicians choke
While we stand off
Believing it's okay

How can we reach inside our hearts
Inside our hearts today
How can we build on what we've got
Not throw it all away

Will our children run
Like we do, like we do
It's alright for some
What a life me and you
Oblivious we stay
Looking for ourselves, if that's ok
With our conscience clear
It makes you wonder what we're doing here

How can we reach inside our hearts
Inside our hearts today
How can we build on what
We've got, not throw it all away
