Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Day in, day out

Sidewalk sleepers turn about

Day by day, the work gets done

Day by day, another war goes on

[Verse 2]

Tell me, where are we going?

Oh oh, what's the future showin'?

Oh, where are we headed?

With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'?

[Verse 3]

Day in, day out

A little boy and girl are goin' out

Day by day, babies' babies are born

Day by day, people say, "Right on"

[Verse 4]

Tell me, where are we going?

Oh oh, what's the future showin'?

Oh, where are we headed?

With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'?

[Verse 5]

All we need

(Oh, I feel)

All we need

All we need

(In harmony)

All we need

In harmony

(Oh, all we need)

In harmony

[Verse 6]

Day in, day out

Air gets bad, the people shout

Day by day, flames get higher

Lies and pain, yeah, they fuel the fire

[Verse 7]

Oh oh, where are we going?

Oh oh, what's the future showin'?

Oh oh, where are we headed?

With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'?

[Verse 8]

Where are we going?

Where are we going?

Where are we going?

With all that's goin' on, where are we headin'?

[Verse 9]

Day by day, baby

(Where are we going?)

By day

(Where are we going?)

(Where are we going?)

[Verse 10]

Day in, day out

(Where are we going?)

Day in, day out

Tell me, where are we going?

(Where are we going?)

(Where are we going?)

(Where are we going?)

(Where are we going?)
