From there to here 
Has been thousands of years 
If you’re counting
From dinosaurs 
And Neanderthals 
We’ve been evolving
It’s been a long time 
From there to here 
But it’s not clear
If we’ve learned f
From our mistakes 
And our tears

The pharaohs believed 
They could live forever 
In their mausoleums
You can find 
Their shriveled bones now 
In the museums
It’s been a long time 
From there to here 
But it’s not clear
If we’ve learned f
From our mistakes 
And our tears

The crusades were 
About killing each other 
In the name of religion
Then they added 
A little pain and torture 
At the inquisition
It’s been a long time 
From there to here 
But it’s not clear
If we’ve learned f
From our mistakes 
And our tears

The dark ages 
The renaissance
And the age of reason
Were followed by 
The news at ten 
On television
It’s been a long time 
From there to here 
But it’s not clear
If we’ve learned f
From our mistakes 
And our tears

From there to here 
My life is just 
A drop in the ocean
As I look back now 
I am filled 
With mixed emotions
It’s been a long time 
From there to here 
But it’s not clear
If we’ve learned f
From our mistakes 
And our tears

From there to here… 
mmm, mmm, mmmmmmm

From there to here… 
mmm, mmm, mmmmmmm
