History is never gone for very long
I know the past can still do us harm
So hold on to those memories that teach us things
About the pain and suffering that ignorance brings

But change never comes around easily
And I know we've been through so much you and me
Tell me why was it so hard for us to see
CHORUS:
Oh no, if we only knew, what we know now
Maybe things would be better somehow
If we only learned from our mistakes
You and me would be in a much better place

Hold on to somethin' real when you feel
Like the world's going crazy baby
The future is as bright as you want it to be
Just let go of all your insecurity

We take things for granted so fast, (so fast)
You think we'll always have it so easy but it doesn't last, (no it doesn't last)
Tell me why can't we learn from our past

CHORUS

Girl don't give up on this thing
Ya we'll work it out
And we'll be stronger than we were the first time
I know we'll make it babe, I know we'll make it babe
Oh ya

CHORUS
