Where We're Going Lyrics

A man comes home from a long hard day

He’s living on a promise he’s giving it all away

He’s gotta find a way to unwind

But he’s lost in dream doesn’t hear a word you say

Nobody tries to be unkind

We’re only victims of circumstance

We never where we’re going

Still we keep on throwing our cards, throwing our cards in the winds of chance

Waiting for the TV to tell us why

At 6 and 11 they tell us to laugh and cry

I don’t want to wait for a miracle to make things right

It’s not gonna help to say we’re full when we’re starving for a little light

Nobody tries to be unkind

We’re only victims of circumstance

We never where we’re going

Still we keep on throwing our cards, throwing our cards in the winds of chance

We never know where we’re going

So the story goes

We never know where we’re going

But the truth always shows

We all want to live in a better place

So why do we turn this journey into a race

Climbing that ladder takes some time and you know you don’t wanna fall

Doesn’t it figure when you reach the top you find you’re up against the wrong wall

We never know where we’re going

So the story goes

We never know where we’re going

But the truth always shows

We never know where we’re going
