Our Destiny
Face First Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go
When I look at myself
I can hardly ever seem to understand
What we are, Why we're here
Just to help and I ??? wondered where I'll be in ten years
Will we fade away or will we just stay here?

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

Some say the end of our world, so near (whoa ohhh ohhh)
If that's so, should we live our lives in happiness or fear?
Where will we end up? What should we do with ourselves?
Where will we go?
Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
