Where Were You?

Where were you
When the wheels fell off;
When the bumps in the road
Unbalanced the load?

Where were you
When the ship was going down;
When the storm and the water
Engulfed every quarter?

Where were you
When the stars didn’t align;
When the lines on the page
Didn’t match the sky’s stage?

Where were you
When the ants marched off home;
When the crumbs left behind
Blew away in the wind?

Where were you
When the show was all over;
When the noise, lights and crowd 
Became just a grey cloud?

Where were you
When the night was so cold;
When the hope of the day
Seemed frozen and fictional, far far away?

Did you hear me?
Where were you?
Did you hear me?
Where were you?
