where do we go from here?
the signs on the road were clear
but still we lost our way
and the world that we had hoped to change
is still the same
our parents knew all along
the protests and all the songs
would all just fade away
it was just a stage
and our parents
were not wrong
these are seasons of our lives
and the children do survive
they just follow you along
they just follow you along
where do we go from here?
our fortunes and our careers
have left us wondering
was it just a dream?
the Great society is now gone...
there’s a man on a downtown train
who looks every bit like me
he turns, i look away
the more we try to change
we’re still the same
these are seasons of our lives
and the children do survive
they just follow you along
they just follow you along
