Where Were You?

Remember the time we got caught drinking cheap wine?

Remember the time we left home?

Remember the time we stayed up to watch the sunrise?

Remember the time we belonged?

But where were you when the music died?

Where were you in the wake of mudslides?

Where were you at the first light of millennium?

Where were you in the dancehall days?

Where were you when the levees gave way?

Where were you when we flew too closely to the sun?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Remember the time that we danced under the streetlights?

Remember the time we built a home?

Remember the time we laughed so hard that we cried?

N'we promised we'd stay forever young

But where were you when I rang that bell?

Where were you when the towers both fell?

Where were you when a nation rose above it all?

Where were you when wildfires raged?

Where were you in the coming of age?

Where were you when a league of saints came marching home?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Where were you in the great divide?

Where were you when the planets aligned?

Where were you at the first sign of hysteria?

Where were you when the earth was shaking

Where were you when the times were changing

Where were you when the world stopped speaking one-on-one?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Where were you?

Where are you as I sing this song?

Where are you as the crowd sings along?

Where are you as as time keeps slipping on and on?
