You Were There

Saw a man? s home, a box made of cardboard
 Frozen to the bone, can? t take much more
 He says Lord I need help here, send me a strong hand
 To lift me from the street, help me to stand
 I? ve been forgotten, been forsaken
 Poisoned by a bottle I could not shake it
 I? ve been passed over, been rejected
 And I? m afraid I? ll never feel
 The warmth of summer come again
 Man I am helpless, I? m freezing
 You were there, you were there
 I saw a sick man on a sick bed
 Scorned by the world like he had two heads
 He says I? m a man here dying a cruel death
 I'm cut off from the world, man it was so sad
 He was suffering, he was ailing
 Tortured by his fate, his body was failing
 He says I? m an outcast, left defenseless
 And I? m afraid that I? ll be dead
 Before the summer comes again
 I? ve been rejected, man I am dying
 You were there, you were there
 Saw a rich man alone in a dark house
 A prison made of gold he could not break out
 He says my life is aimless, it just seems pointless
 Boredom truly kills, man I am hopeless
 I got diamonds, I got houses
 I got silver clouds and silver spoons to match it
 I? ve come up empty, man I am desperate
 And I never want to feel
 The warmth of summer come again
 I? ll be forgotten, my life is over
 You were there, you were there
 You were there, Lord, you were there
