Come over here and take a peak at the memorabilia we share
Come and take a look at our common history
Along with all that great success that mankind has achieved,
You'll see the backside to the plaque, the wisdom that we lack

It is all so very clear how we compensate our fears,
Build a tower to the sky, that will help us show just how far we can go

This is the history of man, to never learn, to say "I can"
Not giving thought to consequence of the mess we're making.

And as we walk down memory lane the pattern is the same,
We bang our drums and praise ourselves for being what we are
But take a moment and reflect, take a look around
Beneath the glittering surface there is nothing to be found
It is all so very clear how we compensate our fears,
Build a tower to the sky, that will help us show just how far we can go

This is the history of man, to never learn, to say "I can"
Not giving thought to consequence of the mess we're making.
We're searching high we're searching low, but in the end what do we know?
We build our idols in contempt of the one who made us

Lord where do we go? Tell us, Lord where do we go?
Searching high and low Tell us, Lord where do we go?

This is our history
