Where Do We Go From Here
(Eric Erdman)

Redemption won’t be grown from the stone of tradition
It needs a different place to begin
The salvation we are seeking can only be built by speaking
Silence just yields silence again

The roughshod edges of our plow shares
remind us that they once were spears
And we are right to be proud of just how far we’ve come from where we were
But tell me where do we go from here

There’s still a poison in the water
We’ve been swimming in
Echoed down from our original sin
Where good folks were put in the ground
Just for having darker skin
A hate that deep for what’s on the surface
Will never stay on the surface my friend

The roughshod edges of our plow shares
remind us that they once were spears
And we are right to be proud of just how far we’ve come from where we were
But tell me where do we go from here

We must have this conversation
If there is ever an expectation
Of knowing an end
To the delusion
That there’s ever been
Us and them

The roughshod edges of our plow shares
remind us that they once were spears
And we are right to be proud of just how far we’ve come from where we were
But tell me where do we go from here
