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

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

Look at her now

All 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

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

Silent souls washed upon the shores

Left to walk the sands

Evermore, evermore

Oh now where were you

When my ship went down

Look at us now, just chasing our lives

Make like the saviors of the planet

We're just trying to get by

You may walk the line

Now you may see it all through

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

Oh now where were you

When my ship went 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
