Where We Going Now - Natasha Bedingfield

Where you goin' now, my brothers?

Where you goin' now, my sisters?

There’s a child who 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 nothin' is changing

Feeling alone, nowhere to go

But the corner store or 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 brothers?

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 brothers?

Where we goin' now, my sisters?

Where you goin' now?

Not goin' down

Where you goin' now?

Not goin' down
