Woody's Ghost | Where Were You?

Where Were You?

Where were you when I was hungry? Where were you when I was cold?
Where were you when I was homeless? Homeless and out on the road?
Did you answer my glance, with a quarter by chance,
or smile with your teeth made of gold?

Where were you when he was growing? Where were you when he was young?
Where were you mystery father? Why were his songs left unsung?
Did you work night and day? Did you run, run away?
Did you forget that he was your son?

Where were you when she was ugly? Where were you when she was plain?
Where were you when she chose madness? Madness instead of the pain?
Did you give her a chance? Did you ask her to dance?
Did you walk hand in hand in the rain?

Where were you when they were tortured? Where were you when they fought back?
Where were you when they were blinded? Where were you when they were black?
Where were you when they were bludgeoned? Where were you when they were struck?
Where were you in the confusion? Where were you with all your luck?
Did you help out that day when the squads made them pay?
Did you strike with your fists or your bucks?

Where were you when we were lonely? Where were you when we were blue?
Where were you when we were aged? Where were you when we were you?
Did you walk by and glance in our windows by chance,
to see if we looked much like you................
like you................like you..............like you............?
