[Verse 1]
You swear
By every dog-eared prayer
In your “my troubles” diary
By every beveled edge
Of your chem leveled being
[Verse 2]
With fear
That you bear the brunt
Of your grandfathers’ wage
With nary a blazing hedge
In perimeter for protection
[Refrain]
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where
[Verse 3]
Try keeping a family of five
Warm, safe and dry
Under one child-sized
Umbrella, dying
With bent up wires
And tears in the vinyl
[Interlude 1]
I’m trying
But I’m tired
I’m so tired
Sirens wake you
Then silence takes you
Back to sleep
But your next dream
[Refrain]
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where
[Bridge]
In case your castle crumbles
Refrain from grumbling
Stride, don’t stumble
With pride, print tickets to the rubble
[Refrain]
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where
[Various Audio Sound Bites]
[Interlude 2]
I’m trying
But I’m tired
Though I’m tired
I’m trying
I’m still trying
[Outro]
(Be where you are)
(Be where you are)
Be where (You are)
