"Learn From It"

What is it that we don't understand?
What is it that we've failed to grasp?
We can't go back and change the past
But we can learn from it

Let's not and just pretend we did
Turn our cheeks away and say we did something
We can't justify why we act stupid
But we can learn from it

[chorus]
So we try to paint the past
In our own light
We try to win the war
With the same fight
We try to claw our way
Up to new heights
Let's stop and see
Just what we have done

How can we get up again
After all the failures settle in
We can't run from consequence of sin
But we can learn from it

We ridicule the lost each day
But we don't have to go our brothers' way
We ridicule them for their mistakes
When we can learn from them

[chorus]
So we try to paint the past
In our own light
We try to win the war
With the same fight
We try to claw our way
Up to new heights
When we need to stay down
For now

Stay down, for now
Stay down, just for now
The future's open wide
You'll have to set it aside
Just for now

We can make it through this race
We can make it through this race
With just a little bit of grace, I know
We can make it through this race
