Ships (demo)

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
