Where Were You?
1, 2, 3, 4
You count your trophies in your good deeds collection
Finding people you can tell, do you really think you've helped
Any other people but yourself
While 1, 2, 3, 4
They count us like we're shackled savages
Empty, soul-less bodies, stripped of dignity
Pitied
Where were you when they took me from my loves ones
Where were you when I was beaten to the ground
I'm asking you, if you have keys to our chains
To free us from our shame
Have our lives been paid for
Oh what glory can be found through the eyes of a stranger
Bear the unease
Would you stay here please
For me
Where were you when I was tired and hungry
Where were you when I was sick in bed
Have you come to see me in jail
Or listen to my wails
On the road less taken
Where were you when I laid the earth's foundations
Was it you who birthed the morning star
Have you entered springs of the sea
See dark gates of deep
If you have then speak
I love you, so go
Be my face to those
Who still need me
You count your trophies in your good deeds collection
Finding people you can tell, do you really think you've helped
Any other people but yourself
While 1, 2, 3, 4
They count us like we're shackled savages
Empty, soul-less bodies, stripped of dignity
Pitied
Where were you when they took me from my loves ones
Where were you when I was beaten to the ground
I'm asking you, if you have keys to our chains
To free us from our shame
Have our lives been paid for
Oh what glory can be found through the eyes of a stranger
Bear the unease
Would you stay here please
For me
Where were you when I was tired and hungry
Where were you when I was sick in bed
Have you come to see me in jail
Or listen to my wails
On the road less taken
Where were you when I laid the earth's foundations
Was it you who birthed the morning star
Have you entered springs of the sea
See dark gates of deep
If you have then speak
I love you, so go
Be my face to those
Who still need me
