Look at him no

Another used m

an
          
Wearing the pa

ssing of his d

ignity
 		 	    
With all the c

ourage that he

 can
 	        
He stood in th

e storm
        
Carved out in 

stone
      
He said I've w

orn my honesty

 with pride
  		    
In everything 

I've done
             
So where were 

             
you when my sh

        
ip went down
            
Where were you

             
 when I ran ag

    
round
             
Where were you

             
 when I turned

        
 it around
            
Where were you

             
 when they bur

              
ned me down
	    
Look at her no

w
             
All tired and 

       
worn
             
She never thou

  
ght her life
 				
Would come to 

be so cold or 

so alone

She walked in 

the light
             
Fought bondage

          
 for love
             
She said I cas

           
t off the chai

ns that I was 

born with
  		
But it never w

as enough

CHORUS

             
Silent souls w

              
ashed upon the

    
 shores
             
Left to walk t

        
he sands

Evermore, ever

more
            
Look at us now

             
, just chasing

            
 our lives
             
Make like the 

 
saviors of the

 planet
   			
We're just try

ing to get by

You may walk t

he line

	       
You may see it

 all through
              
I know you cry

             
 yourself to s


leep at night
 			
Just wondering

 what to do
