Distance To Go

We have traveled far 
With so far to go 
In a land of hurt 
Our culture we must sow 
We have traveled so far 
With so far to go 
Leaving love behind 
Our hearts hang so low 
Like a tree without sun 
Like a tree without rain 
We have so far to go 
Our spirit is broken 
Our pride is amiss 
We seem to be stagnant 
A touch, without a kiss 
So far down we have gone 
To get back what we had 
I wish we could have known 
These weeds we have sown 
Our love so far gone 
For us to have traveled so far 
Like a seed in the air we've been blown 
Reborn, we must 
Or we surely turn to dust 
A memory in time 
History, so sublime 
We have so so far to go.
