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
