Finding God In The Music: You Were There

Saw a man's home, a box made of cardboardFrozen to the bone, can't take much moreHe says Lord I need help here, send me a strong handTo lift me from the street, help me to standI've been forgotten, been forsakenPoisoned by a bottle I could not shake itI've been passed over, been rejectedAnd I'm afraid I'll never feelThe warmth of summer come againMan I am helpless, I'm freezingYou were there, you were thereI saw a sick man on a sick bedScorned by the world like he had two headsHe says I'm a man here dying a cruel deathI'm cut off from the world, man it was so sadHe was suffering, he was ailingTortured by his fate, his body was failingHe says I'm an outcast, left defenselessAnd I'm afraid that I'll be deadBefore the summer comes againI've been rejected, man I am dyingYou were there, you were thereSaw a rich man alone in a dark houseA prison made of gold he could not break outHe says my life is aimless, it just seems pointlessBoredom truly kills, man I am hopelessI got diamonds, I got housesI got silver clouds and silver spoons to match itI've come up empty, man I am desperateAnd I never want to feelThe warmth of summer come againI'll be forgotten, my life is overYou were there, you were thereYou were there, Lord, you were there
