About Where Do We Go from Here?

"Where Do We Go from Here?" is a song from the American rock band Chicago's second studio album, Chicago (1970). It was released as the B-side of the single "25 or 6 to 4", likewise taken from Chicago; that single went to number four on the Pop Singles chart in June 1970. The song was also the very first musical composition from bassist Peter Cetera, who was by this time contributing more than on the debut album released the year before. The song deals with how life is short, and that if you look around you can see that people need to embrace each other with love all the time, and not just when the country is at an all-time low (hence the Vietnam War). The title line is taken from a TV reporter's comment during the broadcast of the 1969 moon landing—widely seen as a historically positive event in stark contrast to the social upheaval of the time. A live performance of the song can be found on their 1971 Chicago at Carnegie Hall album.

Every day just gets a little shorter don't you think
Take a look around you, and you'll see just what I mean
People got to come together, not just out of fear

Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?

Try to find a better place, but soon it's all the same
What once you thought was a paradise is not just what it seems
The more I look around I find, the more I have to fear

Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?

I know it's hard for you to
Change your way of life
I know it's hard for you to do
The world is full of people
Dying to be free
So if you don't my friend
There's no life for you, no world for me

Let's all get together soon, before it is too late
Forget about the past and let your feelings fade away
If you do I'm sure you'll see the end is not yet near

Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here?
