Where Do We Go

The question's been there for so long, but people didn't pay attention or change in time.

Where

A question pondered before

One important thought

One that too many would ignore

Where

There is no other place

Man has forsaken their brothers

And none will escape this place

Where

A lively debate of those leaders inept

And we waited for them to bring us salvation

We waited for those who have overslept

And where

For so many years have people asked this

And so many have yet to bring back an answer

Just foolish ideas that are a hit for every two they miss

So where

Where do you plan on being when it falls down

Those inept leaders will all prove to be safe

As they treat you like a disposable clown

Where do we go

Where do we go from here

There are no arks to take one final ride

And there is no way forward that's clear

Where do we go

Where can we hide

As things begin to fall in

And the world tumbles on us like a landslide

Where do we take the little ones

Their innocent faces looking up with a why

What to tell them about what is undone

Where do we have to go to cry

Where do we go

Now that it was not ours to fix

Leaving it all to the brains and politicians

Knowing they couldn't successfully mix

Where do we go from here

Into the grounds to hide our heads

Living in caves while the rich go to bunkers

Us on our rocky floors, them in their beds

Do we even deserve a chance at the end

Doesn't it all make a macabre kind of sense

We proved to the planet, we weren't its friend

Now it's coming for recompense

Where do we go from here in a world so divided

How do we survive in a world where we can't find common ground

For there's no damn sign the anger has subsided

And no end to the terrors coming can be found

Where

In a savage and destroyed land

Where do we go to start anew

This is what we need planned

Where do we go from here

Without a miracle change in things

This is the way that's clear

What's coming is the end of human beings
