Where Do We Go From Here
Charles Bradley Feat. Menahan Street Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Baby, I know you love me
Make me strong, don't make me weak
Give me that candy
Play with my mind
Let's make this strong
I know that you want
Baby
And I won't be too long
[Chorus]
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Gotta make that change
We gotta all make that change
My brothers and my sisters
It's time to make this world a private place
For the generation to come
Can find love and peace
What for the last of it
So I'm gonna tell you over and over again
Brothers, sisters, let's sing to it
From the heart
Come on
Come on!
[Chorus: x2]
The Charles Bradley song "Where do we go from here?" is an introspective track that touches on a few themes including love, self-motivation and socio-political change. The chorus is repeated twice, and the first verse speaks on the concept of love and how it can be used as a tool for strength or weakness. Bradley seems to be unsure of his partner's true intentions, whether they want to make him better or hinder his growth. He wants his partner to give him that emotional "candy" but warns them not to break him down.
In the second verse, Bradley urges people to make a change that will benefit future generations. He references the need for a world where people can coexist in a "private place" where love and peace are abundant. Bradley believes that change starts with the current generation, and they should strive to make the future brighter. The repeated chorus acts as a rallying cry for people to figure out where to start this change, where to go.

@daranturner
Heard a few seconds of this whilst watching SUITS the other evening and thanks to Shazam I was ordering the cd a few minutes later! This is how music is meant to be. The whole cd is simply delicious!!!
@imAJAXx
Shazam ?! :D
@daranturner
+imAJAX Shazam is an app that you can install on your phone. If you a song plays and you do not know who it is then launch Shazam and let it listen to the song and literally within seconds it tells you artist, song as well as seller all wrapped up in one! Pretty clever!! 😀
@misho7595

@hulkhoganwwf
