I was there
when you shone as bright as
Bethlehem from afar
I was there
when you were young and strong
and perverted
and everything that makes a young man
oh you were a star
I was there
and I swear to god
and on my mother`s grave
on everything I have
or ever will embrace
I was there
and I saw it with my own two eyes
and now it`s all around me
it`s all around me
I`m surrounded
now it`s all around me
it`s all around me
you surround me like a circle
I was there
c`mon and tell me I wasn`t worth
sticking it out for
well I was there
and I know I was worth it
cause if I wasn`t worth it
that makes me worse off then you are
but don`t lose sight of me now
don`t lose sight of me now
I was there
when they dropped the bomb
ya` know I remember the bomb
and I still hear the bomb
and I still fight the bomb
you know I still fear the bomb
you know I still hate the bomb
sometimes I still get the call
so don`t lose sight of me now
you know you`re all around me
I`m surrounded
you surround me like a circle
