ships

Lyrics

look at him now, another used 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, so 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, you see 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 for love, she said i cast off the chains that i was born with, but it never was enough, so 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, silent souls washed upon the shores, left to walk the sands, evermore, evermore, oh now were were you, when my ship went down, look at you now just chasing your life, make like the savior of the planet, you're just trying to get by, now you may walk the line, you may see it all through, but i know you cry yourself to sleep at night, 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, 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
