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 Music: michael b. & di lorenzo Lyrics: michael b., di lorenzo & pete smith
