Song Lyrics

Where you goin' now, my brother?
Where you goin' now, my sisters?
There's a child but can't compete
With all the ugly things in life
Hiding their face, being afraid
Too scared to be alive
Oh, where you goin' now, you bully?
Oh, where you goin' now, oh, mother?
Sometimes, it feels like we're loving, then hating
Then praying for saving, then nothing is changing
Feeling alone, nowhere to go
But the corner store or the church next door
Thinking it can stop you from all this hurting
From all this hurting, all this hurting

Oh, where you goin' now, my brother?
Where we goin' now, my sisters?
It's beautiful to me, so beautiful to me
Where we goin' now? Not goin' down

Quietly hating, anticipating
The body we shame, yeah, what are we saying?
I don't know why we do it, I don't know why, oh
I need you and you need me
Can we feel the weight of what it means?
'Cause I see the pain in your eyes, in your eyes

Oh, where you goin' now, my brother?
Where we goin' now, my sisters?
You're beautiful to me, so beautiful to me
Where we goin' now? Not goin' down
Where you goin' now? Not goin' down

Reaching in, freestyle, your pain, I relate
The luggage we carry wasn't ours to take
The struggle, emotions, so tender and pure
Desperately searching for some kind of cure
Reaching out to someone, I don't know who they are
Then I hear that's a voice calling out from the start
I wanna feel happy and I wanna feel good
Days like this, gotta knock on wood, oh
On days like this when the sun goes down
Put my head under the covers to drown it out, oh
Ooh, coming out of the water, staring up at the sky
Find myself here, feeling so alive

Oh, where you goin' now, my brother?
Where we goin' now, my sisters?
Where you goin' now? Not goin' down
Where you goin' now? Not goin' down
