CD Song Lyrics: Witness, Year Blue, Semester 1, Grades 5-8 Track 1: Where Do We Go from Here? Contributor: Lost And Found © 2004 Lost And Found and Limb Records Walking slowly past the tree Seeing what they want to see Same as you, and same as me Knowing here them captive free Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? A curse and a promise, a blessing upon us Where do we go from here? Father asks for one more day Mother says he just can't stay How it ever got this way No one really wants to say Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? A curse and a promise, a blessing upon us Where do we go from here? Set against September's sun A fragile balance came undone From Kandahar to Washington The fallout falls on everyone Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? A curse and a promise, a blessing upon us Where do we go from here? Yesterday he breathed his last Gatherings recall the past And ponder questions never asked Dreams and visions fade so fast Where do we go from here Where do we go from here 1 A curse and a promise, a blessing upon us Where do we go from here Contributor Information LOST AND FOUND, Michael Bridges and George Baum, play concerts around the country all year.

Don't look at what you don't got Look at what you got. Shame on you, Cain. Why did you try to bring the pain? God's maybe not happy when you get sad. See but loves you the same. You got mad cause you felt bad. You didn't look at what you had. My sibling is such a nerd. We exchange words, we get hurt. But I would never, ever ever ever Stop the family from being together That's my crew, I thought you knew Keep each other, that's how we do. Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) If you really know it then your love will surely show it. Am I my sister's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my sister's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my sister's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Love (Love). We (We). (Got. to show it). The mark means God is keeping us The mark means God is keeping us The mark means God is keeping us This is a promise that we can trust. Even though Cain done really messed up, God still showed some grace. Even though I do really mess up, God gives me an embrace. So right now give at least four hugs. And mark them with a cross of love on their forehead. 3 Say, "I am marked with a sign of love" "I am marked with a sign of love" Just like Cain when he messed up Just like Cain when he messed up That's worth bouncing up and down for That's worth bouncing up and down for So praise the Lord and make some more So praise the Lord and make some more... noise Loose your voice Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) If you really know it then your love will surely show it. Am I my sister's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my sister's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my sister's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Love (Love). We (We). (Got. to show it). So why this hating in the family? We gotta s.p.r.e.a.d. l.o.v. to e. Scheming on taking what your family has. Don't get jealous talking all that jazz. Throw your hands up for your brother if you got his back. (Yeah. I like that) Throw your hands down for your sister if you got her back (I like that) Give a high five to a homie if you got their back (Yeah, I like that) Bounce if you love your homie and you love the track. (Yeah, it’s like that.) Be grateful for the plateful of food. Don't be the dude that's hateful Be gracious with the basics in the world don't be the girl that's racist Cain, you shoulda known That we all in the family when we all get home. Just love each other and keep each other. Love each other and keep each other. Love each other and keep each other. Keep your sister and keep your brother. Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) 4 Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) Am I my brother's keeper? (ya ya ya know it) If you really know it then your love will surely show it. Am I my sister's keeper?

And when you can’t keep the Commandments, Remember that God still loves you. Even when you’re lost, God loves you. I’m the Lord your God, brought you out of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol. Some clowns try to do that with the Bible. Whether it’s in heaven or it’s in the water, Don’t bow to them, bow to your Father I, the Lord your God am a jealous God. But I don’t think you hear me. I said, I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. Don’t put your faith in Sponge Bob. But I show steadfast l.o.v.e. to your sis and to your bro To your grandmamma and your grandpapa And to your grandma’s grandma’s grandma’s grandma’s grandmama And to your grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa’s… Keep the Commandments. And when you can’t keep the Commandments, Remember that God still loves you. Even when you’re lost, God loves you. You shall not make wrongful use Observe the Sabbath Day and keep it holy, okay One day two day three day four Fifth day, you get paid late, that’s cool Sixth day you work and play you learn to stay in school The seventh day, remember the drill. What’s that? Be still. Honor your father even if he bothers you You know what else to do? 8 Honor your mother tell you that you love her ‘Cause she loves you too Do not murder I’ve never murdered, except a cheeseburger But words are sure to discourage Don’t kill ‘em with your words Talk to ‘em first Love each other and love me The biggest commandment there ever will be. You shall not commit adultery on this earth. You shall respect their bodies for what they’re worth You shall not steal You shall respect others a great deal You shall not bear false witness You shall never forget this You shall not covet You shall enjoy your life and love it. And if you cannot keep all ten, Remember that grace will overcome sin. Keep the Commandments. And when you can’t keep the Commandments, Remember that God still loves you.
