The Call - You Were There lyrics

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 pa**ed 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 d**h 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 k**s, 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
