Rescued From Oblivion

One step two step three step four
Day after day
I wonder if life will change

Year after year
I grow
I wonder if history will change

Generation after generation
While taking 2 steps forward
We go 3 steps back.

Decade after decade
Children grow up
Seeing the world

They learn about history
And realize we are going through
The same depression
The same oppression as yesterday.

So what's really changing?
We can't look forward anymore
Because we're too worried about the past.

Once we learn to forgive and forget
Then and only
We will be rescued from oblivion.
