Where We Going Now

Where you goin' now, my brothers? Where you goin' now, my sisters? There's a child who can't compete With all the ugly things in life Hiding their face, being afraid Too scared to be alive Oh, where you goin' now, you bully? Oh, where you goin' now, oh, mother? Sometimes, it feels like we're loving, then hating Then praying for saving, then nothin' is changing Feeling alone, nowhere to go But the corner store or church next door Thinking it can stop you from all this hurting From all this hurting, all this hurting Oh, where you goin' now, my brothers? Where we goin' now, my sisters? It's beautiful to me, so beautiful to me Where we goin' now? Not goin' down Quietly hating, anticipating the body we shame Yeah, what are we saying? I don't know why we do it, I don't know why, oh I need you and you need me Can we feel the weight of what it means? 'Cause I see the pain in your eyes, in your eyes Oh, where you goin' now, my brother? Where we goin' now, my sisters? You're beautiful to me, so beautiful to me Where we goin' now? Not goin' down Where you goin' now? Not goin' down Preaching in fears, dying in pain on the leg The luggage we carry wasn't ours to take The struggle, emotions, so tender and pure Desperately searching for some kind of cure Reaching out to someone, I don't know who they are Then I hear that your voice calling out from the star I wanna feel happy and I wanna feel good Days like this, gotta knock on wood, oh On days like this when the sun goes down Put my head under the covers to drown it out, oh Ooh, coming out of the water, staring up at the sky Find myself here, feeling so alive Oh, where you goin' now, my brother? Where we goin' now, my sister? Where you goin' now? Not goin' down Where you goin' now? Not goin' down
