Where were you?

(audio does not begin until about 23 seconds into video)

 

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

While you were hanging yourself on someone else’s words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time

While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence

I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight into the shining sun

and where are you going?

(longing with fear and hope and yearning and surrender)

 

And I am not frightened of dying.
Any time will do; I don’t mind.
Why should I be frightened of dying ?
There’s no reason for it—you’ve gotta go sometime.
