Lyrics:

How long
'Til we reach the future?
I'm sick and I'm scared
How long
Since we've been blinded?
When will we ever learn
To see again?

When the storm comes
And the wind blows,
What's in your heart
Becomes clear

When the seas rise,
Where will you go?
Will you fall asleep?
Will we wait and see?

'Cause I know
That you suffered
Your share of trials and sorrows
Waiting for one day
When you realize

That if we're ever gonna learn
Are we ever gonna learn?
That if we're ever gonna learn
Are we ever gonna learn?

That if we're ever gonna learn,
We gotta love again

How long
'Til we reach the future?
I'm sick and I'm scared
How long
Since we've been blinded?
When will we ever learn?

Oh, how long
'Til we love our neighbors?
The same way we care
For our friends?
Oh, how long
'Til we can see?

That it's all the same
It's all the same
That it's all the same
We're all the same
That it's all the same
In the end!

So believe me
I'm a witness
I know how far we've come
But I'm scared there's a limit
To how far this road will run
I know that it's hard to see when there's no sun
But I swear if we try there's so much we'll become

Will we, will we ever learn to love like we used to?
Will we, will we ever learn to love like we used to?
Will we, will we ever learn to love like we used to?
Will we, will we ever learn to love like we used to?

I know it's hard
To see what's right before you
I know it's hard
To see where no light shines through

It's hard to see
Where no light shines through
How long?
