Ships Lyrics

M
Look at him now
Another used man
Wearing the passing of his dignity
With all the courage that he can
M
He stood in the storm
Carved out in stone
He said I've worn my honesty with pride
In everything I've done
So where were you when my ship went down
M
Where were you when I ran aground
Where were you when I turned it around
M
Where were you when they burned me down
M
Look at her now
All tired and worn
She never thought her life
Would come to be so cold or so alone
M
She walked in the light
Fought bondage for love
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with
But it never was enough
Silent souls washed upon the shores
Left to walk the sands
Evermore, evermore
M
Look at us now, just chasing our lives
Make like the saviors of the planet
We're just trying to get by
M
You may walk the line
You may see it all through
I know you cry yourself to sleep at night
Just wondering what to do
