Lyrics

You see him now Just an old man Wearing the passing of his dignity With all the courage that he can He stood in the storm Carved out in stone He said I've worn my honesty with pride In everything I've done And where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Look at her now Tired and worn She never thought her life Would come to be so cold or so alone She walked in the light Fought bondage with love Cast off the chains she had been both with And flew higher than the dove And where were you when her ship went down Where were you when she ran aground Where were you when she turned it around Where were you when they burned her down Where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Look at us now chasing our lives Make like the saviors of the planet We're just trying to get by Well we walk the line We see it all through But now we cry ourselves to sleep and I'm Just wondering what to do And where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down
