Free Protest Song...
"Where Do We Go From Here?" I wrote this song a few months ago, after the las protest march I attended. I've been giving the lyrics out to friends. Anyone who would like to sing this song is welcome to... I think this country is mesmerized by the presidential election, thinking that the next president is going to bring big changes. I think that a lot of people are going to be severely disppointed if they think the next president is going to bring this war to a conclusion. The majority of Americans want the war to end. My message is that the war will end when we decide to end it ourselves. The photos are from marches that I went to in Los Angeles. The video is me playing at the Kern River Preserve in Weldon.
Where Do We Go From Here ( G, C, D, Am, Em )
Many nights I sat listening To the static on my radio. More lies, more fear, more deception Falling all around me like snow... You could see from the start where it was goin' Cause we've seen it all before. And they always find more reasons To send your children off to war. ........... Now where do we go from here, My Brothers, Where do we go fro here? We've got to find a way out of this darkness! Where do we go from here? ~ Now some of us spoke out from the beginning; Others are beginning to see the light. But our leaders can't seem to hear us, And all they want to do is fight. ~ We tried talking, But maybe we didn't talk loud enough. We tried voting, But the vote was just a bluff. We tried marching, But maybe we just didn't march far enough. We tried believing, But believing is just so tough.... ~ Now where do we go from here, My sisters, Where do we go from here? We've got to find a way out of this darkness! Where do we go from here? ~ But we are the ones who decide. And we are the ones who choose! It's our sons and daughters who die, And we are the ones who loose... ~ So let's keep talking To everyone we know. Let's keep voting, And make them count our votes! Let's keep marching Through the wind the rain and snow... Let's keep believing Until our belief begins to grow. ~ Now I know when I get up in the morning Just what my radio will say: More bombs, more death, more destruction. More mothers crying half a world away. But we have the power to stop this: Stop the lies, the hate, the fear. War is over if you want it, people, But where do we go from here? ~ Where do we go from here, My friends, Where do we go from here? We've got to find a way out of this darkness! Where do we go from here? ~ © 2008 Lost Hills 6 comments from 5 users
