"How Do We Get There From Here" lyrics

You could hardly hear the questions
For the shouting in the room
There are no easy answers
And it's hard to break through
All the things they each believe in
Have drawn these battle lines
But could any of this fighting
Be worth these children's lives

No, no, it isn't so
No, no

How do we get there from here
How do we take the next step
How do we get there from here
Instead of saying we're not ready yet
How do we learn to trust each other
Instead of living life in fear
How do we get there from here

Every station every paper
Has another hard headline
So we hang the colored ribbons
For the loss of more lives
When the ink dries on our story
What will history reveal
Will we have been part of the problem
Or a part of how we heal

Oh, oh, I wanna know
Oh, oh

How do we get there from here
How do we take the next step
How do we get there from here
Instead of saying we're not ready yet
How do we learn to trust each other
Instead of living life in fear
How do we get there from here

Oh, oh, I wanna know
Oh, oh

How do we get there from here
How do we take the next step
How do we get there from here
Instead of saying we're not ready yet
How do we learn to trust each other
Instead of living life in fear
How do we get there from here

How do we get there from here
How do we take the next step
How do we get there from here
Instead of saying we're not ready yet
How do we learn to trust each other
Instead of living life in fear
How do we get there from here
How do we get there from here
How do we get there from here
